The White House is reportedly fast-tracking crypto regulation efforts, with President Donald Trump expected to sign a sweeping legislative package on digital assets before Congress breaks for summer recess in August.
The initiative comes as the administration also explores the creation of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.
Bo Hines, executive director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, expressed confidence during a keynote at Consensus 2025 that both stablecoin rules and a broader crypto market framework could be finalized in time. According to Hines, the President is personally committed to advancing digital asset regulation, viewing it as part of a larger strategy to secure U.S. leadership in financial innovation.
Amid growing speculation about the Trump family’s links to the crypto industry, Hines dismissed concerns over conflicts of interest, noting that the President’s children are free to participate in financial markets like any other .
He also reiterated that the administration’s crypto policy isn’t driven by personal ties but by national economic interests. “The President of the United States can’t be bought,” Hines said in response to questions about a recent purchase of TRUMP coins by a small firm.
Meanwhile, the concept of a strategic Bitcoin reserve is gaining momentum in Washington. Advocates argue such a move could help reduce U.S. reliance on foreign reserves while simultaneously providing a hedge against inflation and currency volatility. However, building such a reserve would require legal clarity—another reason the pending legislation is seen as critical.
Although optimistic, Hines acknowledged that the regulatory process remains fluid and subject to change. Security risks, market volatility, and evolving political dynamics continue to shape the legislation’s final form.
Despite the hurdles, the Trump administration appears committed to delivering a regulatory framework that balances innovation with investor protection—setting the stage for a new era of crypto integration in U.S. economic policy.
