On July 31, 2025, the U.S. White House has finally unveiled its crypto playbook—yet some key details are missing.

Landmark Report Signals U.S. Ambition in Crypto Regulation

The White House, together with the Treasury, SEC, CFTC, Federal Reserve, and economic advisors, unveiled the first comprehensive U.S. policy framework addressing digital assets. This report marks a critical move in establishing America’s role as a global leader in crypto oversight. The report highlights four key priorities: regulatory coordination, investor protection, industry innovation, and safeguarding national interests. It emphasizes the need for clear legal rules that do not stifle innovation.

Key Takeaways: Clarity and Legislative Proposals

Among its recommendations is the promotion of the Clarity Act, aimed at defining the boundary between securities and commodities in crypto assets and delineating SEC and CFTC roles more distinctly. The report also supports expanding stablecoin legislation to enhance KYC requirements, reserve transparency, and redemption mechanisms—aligning with the recently passed GENIUS Act.

Notably, the report states it will NOT pursue a central bank digital currency (CBDC), citing concerns over financial system risks and surveillance issues.

The Missing Piece: Bitcoin Reserve Plans Remain Unaddressed

Despite early expectations, the report entirely omits discussion of any strategic U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Previously, the presidential executive order referenced establishing a national crypto asset reserve based on seized assets, but no concrete policies or figures have yet been released.

Digital asset advisor Bo Hines commented publicly: “We want as much Bitcoin as we can possibly get,” yet no details about current holdings or plans were shared, fueling speculation in the market.

What This Means: Leadership Amid Uncertainty

Overall, the report showcases the U.S. government’s intent to lead on crypto regulation. But the conspicuous silence on Bitcoin reserves suggests ongoing internal debate or a decision to wait for a better moment.

As global crypto regulatory competition heats up and frameworks evolve, the question remains:

Is the U.S. truly ready to step into the next phase of national crypto asset strategy — or is this report more about signaling than immediate action?
