The White House crypto report has just been released, and it outlines a major change in the regulatory framework for digital assets. 

 

The long-awaited Trump crypto report has finally arrived. This report laid out a sweeping vision for regulating digital assets in the United States, and comes in at a lengthy 168 pages.

As of writing, the report is now considered the most comprehensive government document on crypto to date. Here are some of the highlights of the report, and what to expect.

Defining Crypto and Sharing Oversight

One of the biggest recommendations in the Trump crypto report is the establishment of a clear taxonomy for digital assets. In simpler terms, the Trump administration wants to define which cryptocurrencies are securities and which are commodities. 

The goal is to completely remove the regulatory gray area that has slowed down innovation and enforcement for years.

The report proposes a dual-oversight model for its major regulatory agencies. 

For starters, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would oversee security tokens, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would handle non-security digital assets and spot markets. 

This structure is focused on clarity, and aims to reduce the regulatory confusion that has plagued the industry for years

“A rational regulatory framework for digital assets is the best way to catalyze American innovation,” said SEC Chair Paul Atkins in response to the report.

Stablecoins, CBDCs, and Dollar Dominance

The Trump crypto report also pointed out the importance of stablecoins in maintaining U.S. dollar dominance. It supports the use of dollar-backed stablecoins as a payment tool, while opposing the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

BREAKING: BULLISH NEWS!!

Trump’s crypto report just dropped (EO 14178):

– CFTC to oversee spot crypto (non-security)
– CBDC ban reinforced, no digital dollar
– Full-reserve stablecoins backed by audits (GENIUS Act)
– Tax clarity coming: staking, mining, wash sale rules

In fact, the report urges Congress to pass the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, which would ban any U.S. government development of a CBDC. 

While the report acknowledges that there are many similarities between US-dollar backed stablecoins and CBDCs (like the ability to freeze illegal assets), it also drew a hard line between decentralized private tokens and government-controlled money.

Green Light on Crypto and Surprisingly Light Bitcoin Reserve Details

The report also calls for updated banking laws to support crypto. It recommends easing the process for banks to obtain digital asset charters and urges regulators to provide clearer rules on crypto custody.

The report points out that allowing banks to offer crypto services will improve investor protection. It will also encourage adoption across the entire sector, by providing trusted financial institutions as intermediaries.

Interestingly, one of the most talked-about ideas before the report’s release was the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, the report turned out to be light on details about this initiative.

When questioned about the absence of detail on the Bitcoin reserve, Bo Hines, head of the President’s Council on Digital Assets said, “We want as much [Bitcoin] as we can possibly get.” 

According to reports, the reserve currently includes major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA).

What Comes Next?

While the Trump crypto report was extensive, it’s only the beginning. Some of the recommendations it contained will still require congressional approval.

Moreover, several elements like the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will be developed through future executive orders or agency rulemaking.

Still, the report has bipartisan support in Congress and from the industry itself. The U.S. may finally be on track to build a crypto regulatory framework that promotes growth while protecting investors.

Whether you’re a Bitcoin believer, a DeFi developer or a policymaker, this report is a major change in how the United States engages with digital assets.
