The American story is one of innovation. From the railroads that linked sea to shining sea, to the internet that connected the entire world, American entrepreneurs have led the buildout of next generation technologies in every generation since our founding. Crypto should be no different.

The Working Group, as the author of this report, endorses the notion that digital assets and blockchain technologies can revolutionize not just America’s financial system, but systems of ownership and governance economy-wide. American entrepreneurs who pioneer new industries using these technologies deserve both clarity on the policies that affect their efforts and praise for the progress they have made.

The Working Group further believes that the movement underpinning crypto’s development—largely grassroots and dedicated to building a more open and efficient financial system for all—should be recognized. No President gave this movement the recognition it deserves until President Trump.

The Working Group encourages the Federal government to operationalize President Trump’s promise to make America the “crypto capital of the world” and adopt a pro-innovation mindset toward digital assets and blockchain technologies. The following core recommendations, if implemented, will ensure crypto becomes a hallmark of the new American Golden Age.
