White House Summit Sparks Regulatory Clarity – Industry Reacts

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong considers the development historic. He cites two key achievements from the recent summit at the White House: clearer regulatory clarity and the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in the US. Armstrong noted that this translates to economic growth in the United States, and his company will hire about 1,000 employees due to the renewed growth.

Based on the summit’s outcome, renowned crypto lawyer John Deaton noted that the US crypto industry is about to enter a new era. In his latest post on X, Deaton highlighted that the US plans to establish stablecoin legislation as part of a regulatory restructuring that will introduce significant changes to the crypto industry.

Landmark Reforms on the Horizon: Stablecoins, Exchanges, Taxes

Deaton anticipates the US government will introduce a new market structure to replace the 1930 statutes and 1946 case law as they apply to modern blockchain and AI technologies. This structure would include oversight of centralized exchanges, preventing the commingling of customer funds to protect users in case of bankruptcy.

Deaton also expects the new regulatory structure to include tax policy reform for the crypto industry and deliver an accredited investor rule reform. Overall, he believes Trump’s recent move is a step in the right direction for the crypto industry in America.

Banks Get Green Light for Stablecoin & Blockchain Use

Highlighting the latest steps by authorities, another renowned crypto lawyer, Jeremy Hogan, noted that the US Office of the Comptroller released an interpretive letter allowing banks to use distributed ledgers and stablecoins for banking activities.
