According to David Sacks, President Donald Trump’s advisor on cryptocurrency, the US government aims to regulate stablecoins and promote their growth within the country.

Speaking on CNBC’s Closing Bell Over Time on February 4, Sacks explained that stablecoins have grown but mostly in markets outside the US. Sacks stated, “The market has already taken off but mostly offshore”. He added that the government aims to “bring that innovation onshore”.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy that also includes integrating Bitcoin BTC $89,330.65 and advancing blockchain technology.
