We wont be offloading these assets for pennies like Biden did, he said, taking a jab at the previous administration.He also highlighted his immediate hard stop to what he called the previous administrations regulatory war on crypto, including the controversial Operation Choke Point 2.0. It was government overreach disguised as compliance pure lawfare, he said, vowing that such efforts were over as of January 20, 2025.Pushing for clearer rules, Trump called on Congress to pass legislation to define stablecoin regulations and market structure, claiming that regulatory clarity would unlock a wave of institutional capital and innovation. Itll trigger massive economic growth, he told the crowd.Trump closed out by reiterating his vision for Americas crypto future: The next wave of financial innovation is coming, he said. And its going to happen right here in the good old USA.The overall message seems clear - his administration is working towards fulfilling promises made during the campaign, something he believe is a priority, evidenced by some promises having already been met.-----------Author: Ross DavisSilicon Valley NewsroomGCP | Breaking Crypto NewsSubscribe to GCP in a reader
