President Trump just gave a brief pre-recorded speech at the Digital Asset Summit, his first such address as a sitting head of state. He focused on past accomplishments and alluded to new stablecoin developments.
Trump implied that he may be helping create more dollar-backed stablecoins in the near future, but he didn’t make a firm commitment. Still, the federal government could use such an asset to provide huge amounts of liquidity to the whole crypto ecosystem.
Trump’s Summit Speech
Since taking office, President Trump has had a huge impact on US crypto policy. Yesterday, it was announced that Trump would speak at the Digital Asset Summit in New York City this morning. Via pre-recorded broadcast, he talked about his existing accomplishments and emphasized his hope for stablecoin regulation:
“I’ve called on Congress to create simple, common-sense rules for stablecoins and market structure. With the right legal framework, institutions large and small will be enabled to invest, innovate, and take part in one of the most exciting technological revolutions in modern history,” he said.
This isn’t Trump’s first experience speaking at a Summit like this; two weeks ago, he hosted a Crypto Summit at the White House. However, this didn’t have a huge impact on markets. Comparatively, he made a huge splash when he spoke before a crowd at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. The community hoped that his speech today would build bullish sentiment.
Lately, the crypto community has been desperate for a bullish narrative. Credible fears of a US recession are discouraging investment, and the “Made in USA” assets have suffered from previous disappointments. However, stablecoin regulations may be able to more fully integrate crypto with the US economy and the global economy in general.
“With the dollar-backed stablecoins, you [the community] will help expand the dominance of the US dollar for many, many years to come. It’ll be at the top, and that’s where we want to keep it,” he added.
This clear signal that Trump wants to aid dollar-backed stablecoins, possibly even creating new ones, could be huge. Recently, members of his greater orbit were allegedly in talks with Binance about creating such an asset. By fusing the US economy with these tokens, Trump could provide a huge amount of liquidity for the entire space.
