America's Vice President just backed Bitcoin - and it's not subtle.
During a national policy roundtable in Dallas, Vice President JD Vance made headlines by declaring Bitcoin "more secure than traditional banks" and praised it as a long-term store of value. He emphasized the need for digital assets that "preserve freedom and resist fraud."
This is the highest-profile Bitcoin endorsement yet from the executive branch. Vance's support may influence both regulation and public trust, especially as debates heat up around digital dollars, central bank policy, and the future of decentralized finance.
Bitcoin briefly rose to $69.2K after the news. Analysts say Vance's support could be a turning point opening the door for more mainstream political and institutional alignment with Bitcoin's long-term role in the U.S. economy.
Expect intensified discussion in Congress, especially among those pushing for Bitcoin-backed reserve strategies and crypto-friendly legislation. With the 2026 midterms looming, Bitcoin may become a bipartisan issue with national relevance.
