Donald Trump’s Bold Crypto Statements: “It Won’t Be Easy”
At the highly anticipated Digital Asset Summit in New York, former U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the crypto industry via video message. While there were rumors of potential policy changes, Trump did not announce any immediate shifts.
A Leader in Crypto and Financial Innovation
Trump expressed his commitment to positioning the U.S. at the forefront of crypto and next-generation financial technologies, stating:
> “It is an honor for me to be a leader in crypto and financial innovation in the United States. It won’t be easy, but we are far ahead in survival.”
Ending the “War on Bitcoin”
Trump highlighted recent efforts to support the digital asset space, referencing a major meeting at the White House two weeks ago, led by David Sacks, the administration’s AI and crypto chief. He announced:
> “The same week, I signed an executive order to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stock. This will help the federal government protect and grow the long-term value of these assets.”
Trump criticized the previous administration’s handling of crypto assets, arguing that President Biden’s decision to sell them at a fraction of their potential value was a mistake.
He also declared the end of restrictive crypto policies, including the controversial Operation Choke Point 2.0, calling it a **weapon
