#TrumpCryptoOrder The White House has announced a comprehensive new initiative to strengthen U.S. leadership in digital financial technology by supporting innovation in blockchain and digital assets while protecting economic freedom.

Protecting Blockchain Access: Ensuring that individuals and private entities can lawfully access and use public blockchain networks, participate in mining, transact without censorship, and self-custody digital assets.
Dollar Sovereignty: Support the development of legal tender dollar-backed stablecoins to support the global dominance of the US dollar.
Fair Access to Banking: Ensure fair access to banking for law-abiding individuals and businesses.
Regulatory Clarity: Develop technology-neutral regulations and transparent frameworks to support innovation in digital assets, blockchain, and distributed ledger technologies.
Block CBDCs: Prohibit the creation, issuance, and use of Central Bank Digital Currencies, citing concerns about financial stability, individual privacy, and US sovereignty.
