The White House published a report on digital assets
Key Points:
* Direct support for blockchain. Public networks, validators, software, self-custody, and censorship-resistant transactions are officially recognized as an important part of the U.S. digital economy.
* Dollar stablecoins - a priority. Emphasis on supporting USD in digital form.
* CBDC banned. Directly prohibits the research or launch of a digital dollar by the Federal Reserve System (FRS).
* Cryptocurrency servicing by banks. Banks must service cryptocurrency without pressure from regulators and banking arbitrariness.
* Clear regulation. Call for legislation regarding stablecoins, tax reform, and transferring oversight of BTC and ETH from SEC to CFTC.
* "Safe zones." "Safe zones" and "safe harbors" for innovation will be created without the risk of immediate sanctions.
Strategic BTC reserve (EO14233):
* Extracted Bitcoins will remain on the balance of the U.S. Treasury. BTC purchases are under discussion, but without specifics. The goal is digital sovereignty, not speculation.
New approach to enforcement:
* The Department of Justice will no longer "scare" the industry with lawsuits instead of normal regulation.
