The U.S. is aiming to be a leader in Bitcoin and digital assets, as President Trump has yet again shared his vision for American leadership in crypto and technology.
Trump Pushes U.S. Leadership in Crypto
At the America Business Forum in Miami, Florida, Trump shared a bold ambition for the U.S to embrace crypto and lead the world in innovation. He highlighted that crypto is a major industry backed by influential business leaders, involved in both crypto and other sectors.
Trump said his administration has changed Washington’s attitude toward crypto, and has signed historic executive orders to end the federal government’s war on crypto. “Crypto was under siege. It’s not under siege anymore,” he added.
He further criticised the Biden administration for being aggressive toward crypto. Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler was widely known for his hostile approach towards cryptocurrencies and he brought a wave of enforcement actions against major exchanges including Coinbase and Binance.
However, he stepped down on January 20, and pro-crypto Paul Atkins was later appointed as the new SEC Chair.
Crypto Eases Pressure on USD
Trump also noted the crypto helps reduce pressure on the U.S. dollar and brings other benefits. “It takes a lot of the pressure off the dollar. It does a lot of good things, but we’re into it. Biden was vicious on crypto. They were going after these crypto guys. It was terrible,” he said.
Trump also said that the U.S should emerge as a global leader in emerging technologies, stating “We’re making the United States the Bitcoin superpower, the crypto capital of the world, and the undisputed leader in artificial intelligence.”
At the same time he warned that other nations, particularly China, are racing into crypto, stressing that America must handle it correctly to stay ahead in this booming industry.
The Trump administration has taken bold steps this year including creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The GENIUS Act, a regulatory framework for stablecoins was also passed in July, while the market-structure legislation is still moving forward.
Market Structure Act Sees Progress
Although it has faced delays, White House AI and Crypto Czar, David Sacks recently shared progress on the CLARITY Act.
Sacks tweeted that he had a productive discussion with Senators John Boozman and Cory Booker about crypto market-structure legislation before the Senate Agriculture Committee. He said he is encouraged by the progress made and looks forward to a bipartisan draft soon.
U.S’ Crypto Growth
In 2025, the U.S. ranks second globally in global crypto adoption, only behind India. North America benefited from regulatory clarity, including approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and more structured institutional frameworks. The GENIUS act has also driven strong institutional interest around stablecoin activity.
The Trump administration faced setbacks in recent elections, raising concerns over how its crypto policy agenda might advance going forward.
However, Trump’s ambitious plans and the U.S.’s progress in the crypto space highlight the efforts to position the country as a global leader in digital assets.
