Unveiling Trump's Fresh Cryptocurrency Proposal: Introducing Advanced Financial Services
In a significant move for the cryptocurrency industry, the White House crypto markets task force has released a comprehensive report outlining regulatory clarity recommendations focusing on banking and digital assets. The report, released by the Working Group on Digital Asset Markets in July 2025, aims to strengthen U.S. leadership in the digital asset industry.
The report, spanning 166 pages, includes several key recommendations. These include providing more clarity and transparency on the process for eligible institutions to obtain bank charters or Federal Reserve Bank master accounts. The task force also suggests clarifying or expanding the permissible digital asset activities in which banks may engage, consistent with applicable law.
Moreover, the report urges banking agencies to develop guidance and best practices that are technically sound, principles-based, and technology-neutral, avoiding discrimination against lawful businesses solely based on their industry. The task force also emphasizes ensuring that banking agency expectations related to offering banking services provide equal access to lawful digital asset businesses.
The report further urges federal agencies such as the SEC and CFTC to provide clearer regulatory guidance to enable federal-level trading of digital assets immediately. It recommends Congress pass legislation, such as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, to better delineate regulatory roles across agencies. The report also emphasizes promoting transparency on how institutions can obtain bank charters and ensuring bank capital rules better reflect risks specific to digital assets.
These recommendations are seen as a positive step by industry leaders. Scott Buchanan, Chief Operating Officer of Bitcoin Depot, expressed optimism, believing that new guidelines will boost the growth of crypto markets. Connor Howe, co-founder of Enso.Build, stated that the task force's recommendations are the first time he's seen Washington understand the needs of the crypto industry, emphasizing the need for clear rules rather than more enforcement.
The crypto market celebrated "Crypto Week" in Washington this month, with market participants expressing optimism about political proposals strengthening government support for the area. However, the SEC led by Gary Gensler under the Joe Biden administration has been criticized for not providing clear guidelines and enforcing regulations in the crypto market. With the release of the White House crypto markets task force report, there is hope that this criticism may be addressed, leading to a more stable and growth-friendly digital asset ecosystem in the U.S.
In a potential benefit for both retail and institutional investors, Buchanan believes that with clear rules, there could be lower market volatility and a more stable environment. This stability could attract more investors, fostering further growth in the crypto market.
