Location: WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. legislative bodies are uniting to form a working group on cryptocurrency legislation, spearheaded by David Sacks, Trump’s crypto czar. Sacks expressed his commitment to “ensuring American dominance in digital assets” during a press conference.
In collaboration with key congressional leaders, Sacks presented a proactive agenda for cryptocurrency regulation.
“I look forward to working with each of you in creating a golden age in digital assets,” Sacks declared, highlighting crypto’s significance as a priority for the administration.
Sacks’ strategy includes a stablecoin bill introduced by Senator Bill Hagerty, which aims to establish regulatory oversight for stablecoins by both state and federal agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
In addition, Tim Scott, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, mentioned this initiative will take precedence.
House leaders including French Hill, Glenn Thompson, and John Boozman outlined plans for further legislation addressing market structures, referencing last year’s effort such as the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21).
Sacks reiterated, “We want to keep that innovation onshore in the U.S. Financial assets are set to become digital, like every other industry, and we aim to preserve that value creation domestically.”
