As reported by Blockchainreporter, the Trump administration implemented significant regulatory changes in 2025 to position the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets. The new policies, including an executive order and the passage of the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, aim to provide regulatory clarity and support innovation in the crypto industry. The executive order established the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets and canceled previous restrictive policies. The GENIUS Act introduced a federal framework for payment stablecoins, requiring reserves in cash or U.S. Treasuries and monthly audits. The CLARITY Act clarified jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC. These changes led to a surge in market activity, with $8.6 billion in crypto M&A and $904 million in venture capital investments in blockchain infrastructure in the first half of 2025.
