Trump Administration Targets August 2025 Deadline for Stablecoin and Crypto Market Structure Legislation
The Trump administration is pushing to finalize stablecoin and digital asset market structure legislation before Congress’ August 2025 recess, according to Bo Hines, executive director of the President’s Council of Advisors on Digital Assets. The move signals growing institutional recognition of cryptocurrency’s role in modern finance.
