US President Donald Trump has announced the establishment of a Presidential working group on digital asset markets, reflecting his push for initiatives in this field.
Advancing the Digital Finance Agenda
According to Fox reporter Eleanor Terrett, the group is tasked with developing a federal regulatory framework for digital assets and considering a national digital assets stockpile.
Crypto Campaign Promises
The executive order also directs federal departments to review existing regulations affecting digital assets and revokes prior executive orders against central bank digital currency promotion.
Constitutional Disputes
Despite the significance of Trump's initiatives, his authority to enact certain policies through executive orders remains disputed, as previous attempts with birthright citizenship and other measures have shown.
The establishment of the Presidential working group is a significant step in advancing Trump's digital finance agenda, though many questions about the full scope and direction remain.
