Trump to Sign Executive Order Supporting Cryptocurrency Regulations on Inauguration Day

President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order on cryptocurrency regulations on his first day in office. Key points include:

  • The order aims to address "debanking," where banks restrict or shut down accounts of crypto firms.
  • It may repeal Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121, which requires companies to classify digital assets as liabilities.
  • Trump's administration will focus on removing unnecessary regulations and taxation to foster innovation in the crypto sector.
  • Commitment to protecting online free speech and reducing big tech censorship is emphasized.
  • Plans to appoint tech-friendly leaders across government agencies to support innovation.

David Sacks has been named as a key advisor for this initiative.
