Trump’s national security strategy is silent on crypto, blockchain
Cryptocurrency and blockchain did not receive a mention in Donald Trump’s national security priorities, despite the president’s desire for the US to become a hub for crypto.
The Trump administration did not mention cryptocurrency or blockchain in its latest national security strategy, despite the industry’s growing ties to the financial system and President Donald Trump’s claim of increased competition from overseas.
Trump’s national security strategy, outlining his administration’s priorities, released on Friday, instead said the “core, vital national interests” of the US revolved around artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
“We want to ensure that US technology and US standards — particularly in AI, biotech, and quantum computing — drive the world forward,” the administration said.
