Vice President JD Vance reaffirms the U.S. commitment to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, highlighting their key role in financial inclusion, protection against inflation, and defense of individual freedom. With a clear focus on removing regulatory hurdles, promoting the GENIUS Act for stablecoins, and creating a pro-innovation framework, the government aims to fully integrate crypto into the traditional economy. Additionally, he calls on the community to remain active in politics to ensure a prosperous and strategic future for Bitcoin in the country.
Today, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, U.S. Vice President JD Vance delivered strong messages about the future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in U.S. politics and economy.
These were his key messages:
Mass adoption: Currently, 50 million Americans own Bitcoin; this number is expected to reach 100 million soon. Access to crypto improves financial inclusion and acts as a hedge against inflation and socioeconomic exclusion.
Blockchain beyond finance: Vance highlighted uses in supply chain and health, underscoring the cross-cutting technological value of this innovation.
Bitcoin as a shield against control: He criticized elites who use technology for social control, but assured that Bitcoin is designed to prevent such centralization and oppression.
Political shift: Under the Trump administration, the crypto sector has a clear ally in the White House, in contrast to the restrictive stance of the Biden era. There is a push to remove regulators like Gary Gensler who hinder innovation.
Pro-crypto regulation: The GENIUS Act, led by Senator Cynthia Lummis, will regulate stablecoins to protect users and increase transparency, without threatening the dollar; on the contrary, it is expected to boost the U.S. digital economy.
Full integration: Next step: a clear, transparent, and pro-innovation regulatory framework to integrate Bitcoin and digital assets into the mainstream economy.
Call to action: Vance urged the crypto community to actively participate in politics to avoid being ignored and to maintain the momentum achieved in 2024.
Bitcoin as a strategic asset: In the face of resistance from China, the U.S. must embrace Bitcoin as part of its economic and geopolitical strategy.
