White House Drops Crypto Roadmap—Bitcoin as Reserve Currency? Not So Fast
Biden admin unveils long-awaited digital asset framework—but dodges the elephant in the room.
The Missing Trillion-Dollar Question
While the 38-page document outlines everything from stablecoin oversight to DeFi compliance, it conspicuously avoids addressing bitcoin's potential role in national reserves. Treasury Secretary's press briefing mentioned 'strategic diversification' 11 times—yet gold got more mentions than BTC.
Wall Street to Washington: 'Innovate This'
Banking lobbyists already circling like vultures around the 'enhanced public-private coordination' clauses. Meanwhile, crypto traders shrugged—BTC price barely budged on the news, proving once again that markets react faster than bureaucrats draft memos.
Funny how the plan drops during congressional recess season. Almost like they're hoping we'll be too distracted by Shiba Inu ETF applications to notice the glaring omission. Classic DC—regulate first, ask hard questions never.
The White House just released its latest crypto report—but there’s a major thing missing: any mention of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Despite growing calls for the U.S. to consider holding BTC as a national asset, the report stays silent on the idea.
Trump’s team says a “golden age of crypto” is coming, and they are ready to MOVE fast.
A new White House review reveals plans to speed up crypto trading and support DeFi. Two key bills are already in the works: the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and the Clarity Act to bring clear rules to crypto.
President Trump’s pro-crypto administration is gearing up to launch what it’s calling America’s “golden age of crypto.” But one key detail is missing: no mention of the government creating a bitcoin or digital asset reserve, a move many in the crypto world have been eagerly anticipating.
Trump’s team is laying out a bold new crypto playbook, starting with a clear call for the SEC and CFTC to step up. They are urging regulators to clear the fog around digital asset trading by giving guidance on things like registration, custody, and recordkeeping.
There is also strong support for Defi integration into traditional finance. The plan recommends tools like SAFE harbors and regulatory sandboxes to speed up innovation and bring new financial products to market without red tape.
Furthermore, after the backlash over “Operation Choke Point 2.0,” the plan calls for more transparency on how crypto firms can get access to banking and clearer capital rules.
Stablecoins also get a major boost. The report backs quick implementation of the GENIUS Act, recently signed by Trump, and calls USD-pegged stablecoins a way to strengthen the dollar’s global role. As for CBDCs, the plan supports banning them outright with the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.
