Donald Trump’s Security Plan Skips Crypto, Highlights AI and Quantum Tech

The new national security plan from President Donald Trump’s administration makes no direct mention of cryptocurrency or blockchain.

This focus contrasts with the president’s own remarks. In a recent 60 Minutes interview, President Trump said he did not want “China to be number one in the world in crypto” and had previously expressed his wish for all Bitcoin mining to happen on US soil.

Despite those statements, the published plan does not refer to cryptocurrency, digital assets, or blockchain technology.

Still, one section of the report notes a goal of strengthening "America’s financial sector dominance" by using the country’s "leadership in digital finance and innovation" to secure markets and maintain liquidity.

Beyond the document itself, the Trump administration has taken several steps that signal support for digital assets.

President Trump approved the GENIUS Act, which sets standards for stablecoins, and signed executive orders to create a crypto task force and block the introduction of a central bank digital currency. Federal regulators have also scaled back many enforcement actions against crypto firms.

Recently, President Trump’s remarks at a White House event hinted that Kevin Hassett could be the next Federal Reserve chair. What did he say? Read the full story.
