President Donald Trump declared that his administration will defend America's position as the global crypto capital, taking direct aim at former SEC Chair Gary Gensler and what he called the 'Anti-Crypto Army' for nearly destroying the domestic crypto industry during the previous regulatory era.
The statement signals a continued pivot toward pro-crypto policy at the federal level — a sharp contrast to the enforcement-heavy posture that defined the Gensler SEC, which pursued aggressive actions against major exchanges, DeFi protocols, and token issuers. For the industry, a White House willing to frame crypto leadership as a national interest is a meaningful shift in the regulatory backdrop.
