The US National Cyber Strategy explicitly names crypto and blockchain for protection, marking a first for such a document.Summary
The recently released US National Cyber Strategy under President Trump explicitly names cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies for protection and security, a first for a US cybersecurity strategy, according to Galaxy Digital's Alex Thorn. While this signals support, industry executives are also scrutinizing other parts of the document. Thorn noted that the pledge to "uproot criminal infrastructure" could potentially justify crackdowns on privacy coins, mixers, and unregulated off-ramps. Additionally, Castle Island Ventures founder Nic Carter highlighted the strategy's focus on accelerating modernization using post-quantum cryptography, suggesting the government is taking the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin seriously. The strategy also emphasizes securing AI technology and prioritizing the recruitment of the next generation of cyber workforce talent.
