The White House has released its most comprehensive report yet on cryptocurrencies. This report aims to both regulate the crypto market in the US and make crypto more secure.
Report Key Highlights: Crypto oversight is divided into two categories:
SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission): Will oversee crypto stocks CFTC (Futures and Trading Commission): Will monitor other crypto transactions
Crypto Freedom for Banks: Banks and financial institutions will be able to conduct crypto transactions. The pressure to "stay away from crypto" is now being lifted.
Stablecoin Act (GENIUS Act): Special rules are coming for stablecoins. For example, coins like USDT or USDC will now be fully backed and traceable by the government.
Tax Rules Are Tightening: If you have a crypto account abroad, you will be required to report it to the US government. Crypto profit/loss trading will also be monitored. Support for Innovative Projects: "Secure testing environments" are being proposed for emerging coins and DeFi projects. This will allow new ideas to be easily implemented.
What Wasn't There? The anticipated "Bitcoin strategic reserve plan" hasn't been announced. In other words, the US government hasn't yet said, "We're buying Bitcoin." The message they've sent is simply, "It might happen in the future." Market Reaction: Some experts said, "This report will make the US a crypto leader." Some investors were disappointed, saying, "We were expecting clear information about Bitcoin reserves." What Changes Does This Report Make? Crypto companies can now operate under clearer rules. A safer environment for investors could emerge. The US has begun to legally support digital currencies. The global crypto market welcomed this development.
