President Donald Trump of the United States is scheduled to speak at the Digital Asset Summit today.
This will be the first time a sitting president is attending such a summit, and the hopes of everyone in the crypto space are up, looking forward to what the president will say.
Looking at the president’s actions since he took office, the following are issues he’ll likely address during his speech at the summit.
U.S. digital asset reserve
Trump has been speaking about a digital asset reserve for the U.S. ever before he was sworn in. Recently, he announced some assets that will be included in the reserve, further boosting the hopes of investors.
Congressman Byron Donalds finally announced the passing of the bill for the establishment of the reserve into law just a few days ago. However, as he is attending this summit, it is very likely that he’ll revisit the subject and shed more light on the reserve and how it’ll influence the crypto space going forward.
The future of crypto legislation
The crypto industry in the U.S. has faced several challenges at the hands of the immediate past administration, with the SEC putting an unusual amount of pressure on startups.
Because of this, the growth of the industry has been thwarted, especially because there is no clear regulation guiding the industry. Instead, regulators seem to be making arbitrary decisions whenever they see fit.
The crypto space therefore has been yearning for clear regulation to give guidance to the industry, and Trump knows this, which is why this subject could be one of the issues he addresses in today’s summit.
America’s place in global crypto leadership
One of the reasons that Trump proposed the establishment of the crypto reserve is that he’s convinced the U.S. should be recognized as the global headquarters of cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation.
Despite his interventions since taking office such as the proposal to establish the digital asset reserve, becoming a global leader in crypto is still a far cry because of the previous government’s actions which have practically retarded the growth of the industry.
It is therefore likely that he’ll touch on this subject as well, giving attendees a clue into what his administration is doing to make this leadership a reality.
Final thoughts
As expected, the crypto community is excited at the news of the president attending the summit later today, and many will be on the edge of their seats to hear what he has to say.
While there is a big world of possibilities, these are probably the areas he’ll focus on together with other matters such as his memecoin, the TRUMP token, and others.
