Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to shaping cryptocurrency policy within the U.S. government, signaling further action on the digital asset front. This announcement comes on the heels of an impressive run of public appearances and policy strokes painting a clear picture of his opposition to the growing industry.

To the Coinbase summit on the Hill where he laid out his case for why he is best positioned to lead crypto policy. That’s after the video address they stepped-up with at the Digital Asset Summit in NYC. It follows a captivating in-person presentation at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.

For Trump, it goes further than just orchestrating political theater to impress the crypto community. He issued a short, prerecorded message that was played for participants over at Coinbase’s State of Crypto Summit. This is the second time that Trump has spoken directly to crypto users since taking office.

"My administration is working with Congress to pass the GENIUS Act supporting the creation of dollar-backed stablecoins, and we also will be working to create clear and simple market frameworks that will allow America to dominate the future of crypto and Bitcoin" - Donald Trump

Former President Trump has teased a new “big, beautiful bill” to increase Bitcoin adoption. This ambitious initiative is not powered by an anti-globalization ideology.

During his last stint in office, Trump did a lot of heavy lifting on digital assets. He enacted executive orders to create a national Bitcoin reserve and created a digital assets working group. He also nominated free market ideologue Paul Atkins to run, of all things, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Yet, the former president’s ties to the burgeoning industry have raised eyebrows. As mentioned above, many Democrats in both chambers have already signaled they will oppose bills that do not include robust provisions to address these connections.

As of Thursday, the Senate had not yet voted on the GENIUS Act. On a positive note, the CLARITY Act moved out of committee successfully on Tuesday. To date, Trump has not issued a public statement on either of these bills.
