The statement is the clearest sign yet that the US government may be taking a friendlier approach to crypto innovation.
The sector has long been plagued by uncertainty and regulatory tensions.
A turning point in US virtual currency regulation
Over the past few years, U.S. regulators have taken a hard line on digital assets, especially under the Biden administration. Agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have launched dozens of enforcement actions against major cryptocurrency companies such as Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. These actions have created an atmosphere of fear and hesitation among investors and builders, forcing some companies to move overseas.

According to data from Electric Capital, the number of active U.S.-based blockchain developers fell by more than 20% between 2021 and 2023, while developer activity surged in countries with clearer rules, such as Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.

What this means for investors and markets
For investors, this new political stance could signal the beginning of a growth cycle fueled by regulatory clarity. Historically, markets tend to respond positively to signals of government support. After similar policy shifts in countries such as Japan and South Korea, trading volumes on crypto exchanges increased by more than 40% within months.
