With major announcements expected—including a potential U.S. Bitcoin Reserve—this summit could change everything. Here’s what’s at stake.

Trump’s Vision for Crypto Policy

With President Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021. Trump earned a Bachelor of science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican Party nominee against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. As president, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, diverted military funding toward building a wall on the U.S.–Mexico border, and implemented a family separation policy. Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election President attending, the event could mark a major shift in U.S. crypto policy. Trump will take center stage to outline his administration’s approach to digital assets. His first executive order, 14178, issued after his inauguration, highlights his commitment to supporting the “healthy growth and use of digital assets in all sectors of the economy.”

This is a clear departure from the previous administration’s strict regulatory stance. Instead of tough crackdowns, Trump’s team aims to introduce well-defined policies that encourage innovation while maintaining economic freedom.

Crypto Task Force and Regulatory Shifts

The Digital Asset Working Group – comprising the U.S. Treasury, SEC, CFTC, and Justice Department – is expected to play a key role in shaping new policies. Recent signs suggest a shift in regulatory enforcement. The SEC recently dropped its lawsuit against crypto exchange Gemini and extended its decision on the Binance case by 60 days, indicating a possible change in its approach.

Hester Peirce of the Securities and Exchange Commission, often known as “Crypto Mom,” is one of the most outspoken supporters of cryptocurrency at the government level in the United States. Prior to joining the Securities and Exchange Commission, she worked in a variety of roles evaluating and formulating financial regulations, having graduated from Yale Law School. She worked at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center, a libertarian think tank, most recently before becoming commissioner, where she produced, among other things, critiques of legislation like the Dodd-Frank Act.

As chairman Jay Clayton steps out and a Joe Biden nominee takes his place, Republican Peirce will find herself in the minority. Clayton, on the other hand, was not particularly forward-thinking when it came to digital assets. President Biden has declared his intention to select Gary Gensler, a crypto expert who would presumably be more prepared to deal with Peirce than Clayton was.
 
The SEC’s approval of initial public offerings for crypto businesses like Coinbase, the first U.S.-authorized Bitcoin ETF, and, of course, the ICO safe harbour are all obvious targets for Peirce. We won’t know what Peirce thinks about the SEC’s pursuit of Ripple until after the fact, per SEC protocol, but the outcome of that case will almost certainly serve as a springboard for more clarity.
 
Peirce told guests at the Crypto Finance Conference in January that the future SEC chairman’s priority should be supporting innovation and giving regulatory clarity: “We need to embrace innovation and figure out how to create a regulatory framework that encourages it, which, in our field, I believe means providing clarity.” EntrepreneurInvestorFinanceCrypto and Blockchain Expert , and how upcoming regulations could impact the industry.

Will the U.S. Establish a Bitcoin Reserve?

One of the biggest announcements expected from the summit is the possible creation of a Bitcoin Reserve. David Sacks has confirmed that this idea is a top priority, with discussions already taking place within the inter-agency digital asset working group. If approved, it could significantly change Bitcoin’s role in the U.S. economy.

What’s Next for Crypto in the U.S.?

With the White House now actively shaping crypto policy, the summit could lay the foundation for a clearer and more supportive regulatory framework. If Trump moves forward with his pro-crypto agenda, it could boost institutional adoption and provide much-needed clarity for businesses in the space.

All eyes are now on March 7, as the industry awaits key announcements that could shape the future of crypto in the U.S.
