[Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: The Crypto Industry May Become Part of the Next Generation of Economic Rules] Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan wrote that he recently read a speech by U.S. Treasury Secretary Besant, describing it as 'an important document defining the economic role of the United States for the next century.' In the speech, Besant outlined five principles for the future economic strategy of the United States, with the third principle being: 'The United States will set the rules for the next generation of the economy.' When discussing the digital economy, Besant stated that 'digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization, and new payment systems will help shape the future of money. The United States should not position itself as a bystander in the construction of this future.' Matt Hougan believes this statement demonstrates the U.S. government's emphasis on promoting the development of the crypto industry. It also reflects that the crypto industry is being integrated as an important component of the future financial system and the framework of economic competition, potentially becoming part of the next generation of economic rules.
