Trump Administration Pushes for Clear Crypto Rules in New Report

The Trump White House has finally released its much-anticipated crypto policy report, aiming to bring clarity and structure to how digital assets are regulated in the U.S. Key takeaways include defining which crypto assets are securities versus commodities and recommending shared oversight between the SEC and CFTC. The report emphasizes the need for a rational regulatory framework to make America a global leader in digital assets while protecting investors and supporting innovation.

It also supports easing banking regulations to allow institutions to custody crypto, while stablecoins are highlighted as essential tools for preserving U.S. dollar dominance. The group reaffirmed its stance against a central bank digital currency (CBDC), instead urging Congress to pass the Anti-Surveillance State Act. On taxes, the report recommends tailored legislation to address the unique nature of crypto, including staking.

In short, the Trump administration is advocating a clearer, more innovation-friendly path for crypto in the U.S., with an emphasis on competitiveness, oversight, and financial sovereignty.
