All eyes are once again on the US in the crypto markets. President Donald Trump delivered a strong message of support for the cryptocurrency industry during his speech at the America Business Forum in Miami. Sharing his vision for the future of Bitcoin and digital assets, Trump emphasized that America should not lag behind in this area and declared that the "crypto war is over."
Donald Trump makes a statement on cryptocurrency
At an event held in Florida on November 5, 2025, as part of the America Business Forum, Donald J. Trump asserted that the US will be the leading country in the cryptocurrency space. He declared, "We are making America the Bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world."
In his speech, he claimed that the federal "war" on the cryptocurrency sector is over. He stated, "Crypto was under pressure, but it's not anymore," and presented a new vision. However, this vision did not include concrete timelines or new institutional directions.
Trump suggested that digital assets could play a significant role not only in the technology field but also in the financial sphere. He stated that cryptocurrencies reduce pressure on the dollar and could benefit the US in terms of currency sovereignty. He used the phrase, "It alleviates pressure on the dollar."
He also warned that rival countries like China could use the crypto sector to their advantage, emphasizing that the US should take an active role in this area. "If it's not done right, this is a major industry, and China is about to start," he said.
Government steps are also progressing, albeit slowly, in line with the vision outlined in Trump's speech. Earlier this year, there were signs of the establishment of federal structures such as the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and the "Digital Asset Stockpile" in the US; however, Bitcoin purchases have not yet materialized.
Furthermore, the GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, laid the groundwork for a regulatory framework for stablecoins. However, the market structure and comprehensive regulations are not yet fully established.
Why did Trump emphasize crypto?
Trump's emphasis on crypto did not emerge overnight. Previous administrations' regulatory crackdown on crypto and the general atmosphere of uncertainty had led to a lack of confidence in the sector. Trump described this situation as a "war," suggesting that this perception had been reversed. He also emphasized the crypto sector's size and support from the business community: "It's a big industry. There are a lot of businesspeople... they were in other businesses, but crypto is also involved," he said. This statement aims to demonstrate that crypto goes beyond being a mere investment tool and offers the potential to create economic growth and jobs.
