Doubling down, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the “Trump Administration is going big on digital assets,” adding that the “previous administration nearly destroyed the industry with its anti-innovation agenda and regulation-by-enforcement approach.” In the past, Bessent has repeatedly stated his stance that the U.S. must become the “premier destination for digital assets,” calling the broader crypto sector “here to stay.”

“Digital asset companies deserve regulatory clarity—and that’s exactly what we are working toward,” Bessent remarked on X. “Passing the stablecoin bill is just the start.” The Treasury Secretary refers to the Guaranteed Essential Neutral and Interoperable Uniform Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, a proposal aimed at placing the stablecoin sector squarely under regulatory oversight. In a video released alongside his remarks, Bessent made that point clear.

He emphasized that the Trump administration “has made digital assets for priority,” contrasting it with the Biden administration, which he claimed “starved” the crypto sector nearly out of existence. According to Bessent, many firms packed up and shifted their operations overseas. “So what we want to do is apply the highest U.S. regulatory and AML standards to digital assets, especially stablecoins,” Bessent noted.

He also pointed out that stablecoins have the potential to boost interest in U.S. bonds, adding:

I’ve seen estimates that just over the short term stablecoins could create $2 trillion of demand for U.S. treasuries and treasury bills.

The Trump administration’s pivot toward supercharged crypto regulation suggests a broader strategy aimed at reclaiming financial innovation as a national interest. By championing stablecoins, the administration appears eager to align digital assets with U.S. monetary policy. Many believe that, if implemented effectively, the GENIUS Act could help set a precedent for regulatory clarity while reinforcing the dollar’s influence and dominance in an increasingly tokenized world.
