At the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, U.S. Vice President JD Vance emphasized the growing strategic importance of Bitcoin and digital assets in the American economy. He endorsed the GENIUS Act, which aims to expand stablecoin use in digital payments, and described cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation and fiscal mismanagement. Vance noted that around 50 million Americans currently hold Bitcoin, a figure he expects to rise to 100 million.
