A New Era For Crypto Begins In The U.S.

Getting informed Regulation

Long hampered by a regulation perceived as hostile, the American crypto industry could experience a major turning point. Indeed, the return of Donald Trump to the White House is accompanied by a deliberate change in direction: to make the United States a bastion of financial technologies. An unprecedented discourse is taking shape at the top of the state, driven by a desire to break from the Biden era. Behind the announcements, a strategy is emerging, promising a new momentum for cryptos and a rehabilitation of the sector in front of regulators.

A symbolic crypto speech by Trump with a meteoric surge projected on screen.

A presidential declaration openly in favor of cryptos

Bo Hines, executive director of cryptos at the White House, made a statement that marks a clear break from the previous approach. In this intervention, he asserts that « companies specializing in cryptos have been victims of a judicial system manipulated under the Biden regulatory regime».

He adds also on platform X (formerly Twitter) on April 9, 2025, that « President Trump is the true president of cryptos » and that he will inaugurate « an age of gold for these assets and emerging financial technologies »​.

This firm positioning reflects a clear desire to rehabilitate crypto companies in the eyes of regulators and redefine economic priorities. Such orientation fits within a global strategic vision based on several observations shared by the current administration :

  • The previous regulatory climate would have discouraged investment and weakened technological innovation ;
  • The crypto industry would be perceived by the Trump team as a lever for high-potential economic growth ;
  • The desire to create a stable and incentivizing legal environment for blockchain projects is an imperative political necessity.

These elements show that support for the crypto industry is not a simple electoral discourse, but a structured political commitment.

The stated aim is to position the United States as a global hub for financial technologies, in order to break from practices perceived as repressive under the Biden administration.

An unprecedented institutional framework to regulate cryptos

In a strong political gesture, Donald Trump signed an executive order in the first weeks of his term to structure federal support for the crypto industry. This order provides for the establishment of an inter-agency task force, tasked with proposing a national strategy around cryptos.

Thus, this committee brings together high-ranking officials from the Treasury, the Department of Justice, and the SEC, under the supervision of David Sacks, designated as the « tsar » of AI and cryptos at the White House​.

One of the main missions assigned to this group is to evaluate the opportunity to establish a strategic reserve of bitcoin for the United States. Furthermore, the committee must also formulate a regulatory and legislative framework within 180 days.

This tight timeline illustrates the presidential will to act quickly, in a geopolitical context where several countries, particularly in Asia and the Gulf, are accelerating their own initiatives. The United States thus seeks to catch up on accumulated delays and reposition itself as a magnet for talent and capital in Web3.

This strategic orientation could sustainably transform the American crypto landscape. Clear and proactive regulation could reassure investors, strengthen the country’s competitiveness, and encourage the relocation of companies that previously moved to more favorable environments. It remains to be seen whether this shift will hold over time and what reactions it will trigger within Congress and federal agencies that are still reluctant. The coming months will be crucial to measure the real extent of this crypto revolution desired by Donald Trump.
