US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the United States aims to take a leading position in the digital assets space.
Speaking at a hearing in Washington, Bessent emphasized that the US intends to become a global leader in the cryptocurrency market and contribute to defining the best practices worldwide in this field.
During a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee last week, Bessent noted that the US government is working on creating appropriate market structures and regulations for digital assets. He expressed the belief that the crypto economy is here to stay and that digital assets will strengthen their place in the financial system. However, some Democrats continue to voice concerns regarding President Trump's crypto projects and memecoin ventures.
In the coming days, the US Senate is expected to vote on stablecoins, which could represent an important turning point for digital asset regulations, though many uncertainties remain.
