Donald Trump’s New Security Strategy Silent on Crypto — Why Is the Industry Worried?
The new national security strategy from the Trump administration omits any mention of cryptocurrency, worrying the digital asset industry.Summary
The Trump administration's latest national security strategy document has caused concern in the digital-asset sector because it makes no direct mention of crypto, Bitcoin, or blockchain technology, despite Donald Trump's recent vocal support for the industry. The strategy prioritizes competition in areas like AI, biotechnology, and quantum computing, contrasting sharply with Trump's stated goal for the U.S. to be "number one" in crypto. This omission creates uncertainty regarding the administration's commitment, especially since major jurisdictions like the EU have integrated digital-asset policy into their national strategies. However, the article notes that Trump continues to advance crypto-friendly policies, such as signing the GENIUS Act and banning a Federal Reserve-issued CBDC. Furthermore, the Trump family has expanded its crypto ecosystem, though their associated ventures, including the TRUMP memecoin and Trump Media & Technology Group, have seen significant recent value declines.
