Crypto Gets the Green Light: Trump's New Plan

President Trump has signed a new executive order that sets up a special group to look into digital assets like Bitcoin. This team will have just a month to figure out what rules are already in place for these assets. Then, they'll need to make recommendations to the president within six months. What's interesting is that this order comes after Trump made promises during his campaign, like creating a national Bitcoin reserve. This news has got banks and crypto companies excited. Bank of America's CEO said if new rules come out, they'll start offering crypto payments. Coinbase and Binance's leaders also think clearer rules will bring in more money to crypto. So, it seems like Trump's plan is to make crypto more accepted in the US. The order also stops a plan to create a digital currency for the central bank, which Trump thinks could threaten the financial system and privacy. Trump has been busy with crypto lately, launching a meme coin and a platform selling non-fungible tokens. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also made a change that's good for crypto. They've stopped a rule that made it expensive for companies to hold digital assets. And they've started a new group to figure out better rules for crypto. This is a big change from the last SEC chief, who was tough on crypto.
