President Donald Trump has delivered a virtual address at the Digital Asset Summit, urging lawmakers to adopt stringent stablecoin regulations and outlining plans to position the U.S. as a leader in cryptocurrency and financial technologies.
President Trump began his speech by asserting that the United States will “dominate crypto” and lead the “next generation of financial technology.” President Trump criticized the previous administration for selling off the federal government’s digital asset holdings instead of maximizing their value.
“I’ve also called on Congress to pass landmark legislation creating simple, common sense rules for stablecoins and market structure. With the right legal framework, institutions large and small will be liberated to invest, innovate, and take part in one of the most exciting technological revolutions in modern history,” President Trump stated.

Additionally, President Trump stated that the United States would become the “undisputed Bitcoin superpower and crypto capital of the world.” He highlighted recent initiatives under his administration aimed at expanding the nation’s role in the digital asset sector.
President Trump addressed ongoing regulatory changes, specifically declaring an end to what he described as the previous administration’s “regulatory war” on cryptocurrency. He criticized Operation Choke Point 2.0, calling it an excessive use of government power aimed at restricting the digital asset industry.
Last week, White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks hosted the White House Digital Asset Summit, bringing together key industry leaders to discuss regulatory clarity and advancements in cryptocurrency innovation.

In his address, President Trump outlined two key initiatives launched in conjunction with the summit: the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the Digital Asset Stockpile. These measures aim to strengthen the United States’ position in the digital asset sector by securing Bitcoin reserves and optimizing the government’s approach to digital asset management.
