Donald Trump has made new remarks regarding cryptocurrency policy and regulation in the United States.
Key highlights from his statements:
• The U.S. must finalize its crypto market structure legislation as soon as possible.
• Protecting the national crypto agenda is critical otherwise innovation and capital could migrate to countries like China.
• Banks should actively engage with and support the crypto sector rather than resist it.
Trump emphasized that the GENIUS Act represents the first major step toward positioning the U.S. as the “crypto capital of the world,” while the CLARITY Act is viewed as the crucial follow-up needed to complete the regulatory framework.
Although the White House’s March 1 deadline for a decision on the CLARITY Act has passed, insider reports suggest negotiations remain ongoing. Meanwhile, Polymarket currently estimates a 72% probability that the legislation could be signed into law in 2026.
In a statement shared on Truth Social, Trump also claimed that certain banking institutions are attempting to weaken crypto-related legislation a move he described as unacceptable. He reaffirmed that his administration remains committed to advancing and protecting the digital asset industry.
