🇺🇸 USA: Sharp Easing of Cryptocurrency Regulation

The administration of President Donald Trump is actively promoting cryptocurrencies, aiming to make the USA the "crypto-capital of the world." In March 2025, Trump signed an order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, including about 200,000 BTC that had been previously confiscated. A reserve of digital assets is also being formed, including Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano.

Regulatory bodies, including the Federal Reserve System, FDIC, and OCC, have eliminated pre-approval requirements for banks wishing to participate in cryptocurrency projects. The U.S. Department of Justice has disbanded the unit combating cryptocurrency crimes, focusing on prosecuting only clear crimes such as terrorism and drug trafficking.

The SEC has dropped lawsuits against Coinbase and suspended cases against Binance and Justin Sun. It was also announced that meme coins are not subject to regulation.
