President Trump’s administration reportedly
According to ColdAI founder Shayan Salehi, a Trump Transition Team member stated that the legislation would only apply to assets issued by entities that registered within US borders before their tokens’ issuance. However, an outlined relocation pathway would allow foreign entities to reestablish in the US to benefit from this exemption.
Should it materialize, the policy is positioned as a transformative advantage for U.S.-issued cryptocurrencies, including Cardano (ADA), Algorand (ALGO), Ripple (XRP), and Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), which may gain considerable market appeal over foreign tokens. The policy would align with industry expectations. Former SEC head Jay Clayton commented to Reuters that: “I think we will see crypto legislation, I think it becomes much easier to have crypto legislation if you’re tackling some of these problems that can be tackled at the executive and the administrative level.”
The incentive could prompt a shift in investment strategies, favoring domestically issued assets and potentially reshaping the crypto market’s landscape by driving competition among jurisdictions. While the proposal remains unconfirmed, speculationon its broader implications is widespread. Industry insiders, including sources close to Dennis Porter, a notable Bitcoin advocate from the Satoshi Action Fund, have indicated that several US states may introduce legislation supporting a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking an expansion in state-level crypto initiatives.
According to Porter, multiple cabinet picks within the administration endorse the idea, with some proposing federal backing for Bitcoin reserves. Concurrently, rumors circulate that at least five other countries are preparing to implement national Bitcoin Reserve laws, underscoring a growing international movement toward government-held digital assets. Per these speculations, such a policy could incentivize digital asset creation within US borders, potentially attracting companies considering tax-efficient frameworks.
