U.S. National Security Strategy Overlooks Cryptocurrencies Amid Tech Priorities
The TRUMP administration's national security strategy conspicuously sidesteps cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology while prioritizing AI, biotech, and quantum computing as core strategic technologies. This omission occurs despite global competitors aggressively advancing digital asset frameworks.
Market observers note the dissonance between Washington's stance and Wall Street's accelerating institutional adoption of crypto assets. Trading volumes for BTC, ETH, and SOL continue climbing on Binance and Coinbase despite regulatory ambiguity.
The strategy document explicitly states intentions to export U.S. technological standards—a framework that now excludes digital assets. This contrasts with China's blockchain infrastructure investments and the EU's MiCA regulatory framework.
