Trump's Vision for American Crypto Leadership

President Donald Trump's executive order signed on January 23, 2025, marks a watershed moment for cryptocurrency in America, establishing the Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets chaired by White House AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks[1][4].
