In a landmark meeting at the White House on Friday, US President Donald Trump engaged with top cryptocurrency executives, marking a significant shift in federal policy. The four-hour summit, attended by major industry figures, highlighted Trump’s newfound support for crypto, in contrast to previous regulatory crackdowns. Since he took office, Trump has orchestrated a complete transformation of federal policy on crypto. The Securities and Exchange Commission has almost entirely reversed an aggressive campaign by the Biden administration to crack down on the industry. The agency, moving with astonishing speed, has issued legal guidance to help crypto companies, ended investigations into major firms and dropped lawsuits against two of the largest exchanges, Coinbase and Kraken. “Many of you have been fighting for years for this,” Mr. Trump said as the room quieted. “It’s an honor to be with you at the White House,” he said.

On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order to establish a bitcoin and four other coins strategic reserve, directing the secretaries of Treasury and Commerce to develop "budget-neutral strategies" for acquiring additional bitcoin that have no "incremental costs" on taxpayers.
