Mike Selig declares America the crypto capital of the world.

Mike Selig made the claim plainly: the United States is now the crypto capital of the world, backed by what he described as a pro-crypto administration. The statement reflects a broader shift in tone from Washington — one that industry participants have been anticipating through years of regulatory uncertainty.

Whether the policy environment fully delivers on that framing remains to be seen, but the directional signal from figures close to the regulatory conversation is increasingly consistent. A U.S. that actively courts crypto capital rather than constrains it would represent a meaningful structural tailwind for the sector.
