The White House, led by #US President Donald #TRUMP , has finally released the 120-page "Digital Assets Report," eagerly awaited by the crypto world. The report covers a wide range of striking topics, from stablecoins to decentralized finance (DeFi), banking regulations to SEC and CFTC cooperation. However, one detail was particularly striking: no concrete information was provided regarding the Bitcoin reserve. $BTC
A Bitcoin Reserve Was Expected, But… Silence Reigns!
Before the report's release, the most anticipated topic was the US Bitcoin reserve and potential crypto asset holdings. Investors and market observers were closely watching the future of Bitcoin seized from illicit transactions, particularly the potential for a reserve strategy. However, the report's superficial coverage of these issues raised the question of why it's being concealed.
While the report noted that a reserve could be created using cryptocurrencies seized from illicit activities, no clear data was provided on how this process would work, how much crypto assets exist, and when they would be used. This omission was interpreted by market experts as deliberate ambiguity.
Radical Statements on DeFi: "Bureaucracy Should Not Be an Obstacle"
The Trump administration's report included striking statements regarding decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. It specifically stated that DeFi should be rapidly integrated into the traditional financial system in areas such as lending platforms, and conveyed the following message:
"In the field of decentralized finance, lending platforms, in particular, must be rapidly integrated into the traditional financial system. Products here should reach users without encountering bureaucratic obstacles."
This statement demonstrates the Washington administration's unprecedented open and supportive stance on DeFi. Furthermore, the proposal to include cryptocurrencies in retirement funds and mortgage systems could be revolutionary in the financial world.
A Clear Message to the SEC & CFTC: Act Together Now!
One of the most striking sections of the report was the direct message to the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), two major US financial regulatory bodies:
“The two institutions should immediately fill the gaps in cryptocurrency regulation and facilitate crypto trading at the federal level.”
This call aims to end the long-standing “jurisdiction confusion” in the crypto market and clarify the regulatory environment. This will enable both investors and companies to operate in a safer and more predictable environment.
A Clear Warning to the Banking World: Backdoor Pressure on Crypto Must End
The report also contains harsh warnings for the banking sector. It explicitly states that the Trump administration is opposed to “Choke Point 2.0”-style practices, which have been used as an indirect tool of pressure on crypto since the Obama administration:
“The uncertainties crypto firms face when working with banks must be resolved… The backdoor pressure on crypto firms must end.”
These statements emphasize the need to make banking licenses for crypto companies more transparent and accessible, while also signaling a more friendly regulatory environment for companies operating in the sector.
Conclusion: Is a New Era Beginning for Crypto?
This detailed report published by the White House suggests that a more constructive, open, and inclusive era may be dawning in US crypto policies. However, uncertainty surrounding strategic issues like the Bitcoin reserve raises significant questions for the market.
The crypto world is now awaiting an answer:
"Why isn't the US disclosing its Bitcoin reserves, and what does this strategic silence mean?"
