    House Bill to Build Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Has One Major Difference

    On Friday, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) introduced legislation in the House of Representatives that would enshrine into law President Donald Trump’s proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve—but the bill is crucially different from the legislation introduced in the Senate earlier this week.  Unlike the Bitcoin Act put forth by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) on Tuesday, which would commit the U.S. government to buying up some $80 billion worth of Bitcoin, Donalds’ Reserve and Stockpile Act does not call for th...

    Trump Admin Wants to Acquire as Much Bitcoin as Possible: White House

When asked by someone in the room exactly how much Bitcoin the U.S. gover...

    Senate Stablecoin Bill Passes Out of Committee With Strong Bi-Partisan Support

    The U.S. Senate Banking Committee voted in favor of advancing the stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act to a full Senate vote Thursday, with the legislation receiving bipartisan support.  The bill passed through committee by a vote of 18-6, with five Senate Democrats joining Republicans to push the bill over the finish line with considerable breathing room.  Democrats who voted for the GENIUS Act’s passage include bill cosponsor Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), as well as Senate Banking Committee members Mark...

    Trump Doesn’t Plan to Host Another Large-Scale Crypto Summit Any Time Soon: White House

    Was last week’s landmark White House crypto summit a one-time event, or will the Trump administration continue to formally dialogue with industry leaders? Bo Hines, executive director of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, told Decrypt that while he and his colleagues are still mulling that question, Friday’s large-scale gathering of dozens of top crypto executives and high-ranking Trump officials in one room is unlikely to be replicated soon.  Instead, Hines thinks the White House...

    Sen. Lummis Reintroduces Bitcoin Act, Which Would Allow US to Buy $80 Billion in BTC

    Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate Tuesday that would authorize the U.S. government to buy up one million additional Bitcoin and codify President Donald Trump’s pledged strategic Bitcoin reserve. “By transforming the president's visionary executive action into enduring law, we can ensure that our nation will harness the full potential of digital innovation to address our national debt while maintaining our competitive edge in the global economy,” Lummis said in a sta...

    Trump Plans to Sign Executive Order Ending Biden-Era Crypto Debanking

    President Donald Trump plans to sign another cryptocurrency-related executive order that takes aim at anti-crypto policies of the Joe Biden administration that made it difficult for crypto companies to obtain banking services, sources familiar with the matter told Decrypt.  The order will likely seek to explicitly roll back the rules and regulatory initiatives associated with “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” an alleged Biden administration plot to deny banking services to crypto companies and executi...

    Trump’s Meme Coin, Crypto Ventures ‘Irrelevant’ to Industry Regulation: David Sacks

    White House crypto czar David Sacks deflected questions Friday about President Donald Trump’s potential crypto conflicts of interests, claiming that the president’s own digital asset ventures—like his controversial meme coin—are “irrelevant” to the administration’s policy in the same area. “I don’t think it’s had any impact,” Sacks said when asked whether Trump’s own crypto projects have affected industry regulation. “I think it's kind of irrelevant to what we're doing here.” When asked shortly...

    White House: Bitcoin 'Deserves Special Treatment' Over XRP, Solana, Cardano in Crypto Reserve

    A senior White House official told Decrypt that President Donald Trump created a strategic reserve exclusively for Bitcoin on Thursday because the president’s administration views the cryptocurrency as belonging to a league of its own.  “Bitcoin is special in our view,” the senior White House official said. “It’s the most secure. It’s the most decentralized. It doesn’t have an issuer. So it deserves special treatment.” In signing an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, Trump al...

Even with President Donald Trump generating headlines on an hourly basis, the actions of the Musk-run Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have dominated the White House’s mainstream media coverage—with the agency making unprecedented slashes to federal progra...

    Trump’s Crypto Summit: What Is It, Who’s Going, and Why the 'Crypto Council' Fell Apart

    The White House is set to hold its first-ever crypto summit on Friday—and most industry bigwigs are jockeying for a seat at the table.  The inaugural crypto summit is likely to be run by AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks and essentially supplants President Donald Trump’s promised “crypto council,” which the administration quietly ditched in recent weeks as crypto industry infighting threatened to undo political goodwill, sources told Decrypt.

    Less than a day after the SEC formally dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase, the chief of the agency’s new crypto task force appeared to blame the policy developed by the agency’s former chair, Gary Gensler, for the proliferation of fraud in the industry over the last several years. In a statement published Friday, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce argued that by targeting the crypto sector with far-reaching enforcement actions and pointedly declining to create industry-specific rules, the agency...

On Monday, Ethereum’s developers initiated the Holesky testnet, an effective dress rehearsal of the Pectra upgrade that wouldn’t impact the network’s mainnet. In a somewhat rare occurrence for Ethereum, the testnet failed to finalize. Days later, the mock upgrade still...
