  Surprisingly, the national crypto reserve plan doesn't involve using taxpayer money to buy crypto but holding seized assets instead.  This won't help Bitcoin bag holders hoping to offload on Uncle Sam.  —  The real question is: will this plan hold, or will taxpayers end up footin…

  Credit where due: Trump is injecting common sense into crypto policy. The Gensler-Warren theory of trying to delegitimize crypto by refusing to issue rules was a flop. Next up: stablecoin and market structure legislation, which will need D support. (h/t @theinformation) [image]

  White House EO protects access to the banking system, mining, validating, self-custody, institutional custody, stablecoin development, peer-to-peer transactions, open networks, and more. This is what innovation looks like. https://www.whitehouse.gov/...

  I am excited about the Crypto EO today. Have complete faith that the space will have clear regulations, including: 1. a simple accreditation test all citizens can take in under one day — this solves 90% of issues. 2. What is the difference between a utility token and a stock,

  In 60 days, the OMB will revise two key memos about the conditions for government uses AI. These memos are key; Biden used them to pressure companies to comply with his EO. [image]

• @psychosort Brian Chau on x

  What red tape? Well there's a lot left over from Biden's AI EO. Even though the EO is repealed, some of the agency rules it caused remain. This new Trump EO asks OMB to find and delete these remaining rules. [image]

  “I don't know if they do,” Trump says in Oval when @weijia asked about @ElonMusk's statement to @sama that the companies have less than $10b to start Stargate, not $100b as they say. “Elon doesn't like one of those people,” Trump says. “He hates one of the people in the deal.

  Seems the upshot is that rescinding the Biden EO wasn't enough, they also want all agencies to salt the earth and wipe out any traces of the work.
