Trump's national security strategy prioritizes artificial intelligence and quantum computing, but completely overlooks cryptocurrencies in its core priorities.
The president has previously stated his opposition to China's dominance over cryptocurrencies and wanted all Bitcoin mining to take place in America.
The latest national security strategy under the Trump administration deliberately omitted cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology from its main priorities. The absence of these technologies seems to contradict President Trump's previous statements about turning America into a leading power in digital assets.
The document released on Friday pointed to artificial intelligence and quantum computing as two fundamental issues shaping America's core national interests. According to the White House, one of the main goals should be to ensure that American technology and standards in the fields of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum computing are what guide the world toward the next stage of global advancement.
Absent from security priorities
Previously, Trump told CBS that he opposes China's rise as the world's leading power in cryptocurrencies and wishes that all Bitcoin mining were domestic. In this regard, CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis supported this view in his statement in May when he said that cryptocurrencies are one of the main areas of technological competition that China and other competitors are engaged in.
The strategy document classifies the United States as a leader in the global financial sector and indicates that it will maintain this leadership through its leadership in digital finance and market security innovation. This vague statement may also cover cryptocurrencies, but it does not contain any specific mention of blockchain or digital assets in the text.
Despite this neglect, the Trump administration has actively pushed for supportive policies for digital currencies throughout the year, moving forward with the implementation of several initiatives promised to this industry. The 'GENIUS' Act was signed into law, executive orders created a task force in the digital currency sector, and cryptocurrencies issued by central banks were banned.
Under the new administration, federal agencies have refrained from taking a number of enforcement actions on digital currency laws that they had previously considered, leading to the creation of a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets. The government created a reserve of Bitcoin and a stockpile of digital currencies using seized assets, while simultaneously looking for budget-neutral acquisition methods to expand these assets.
Following the release of the document, Bitcoin prices dropped below $90,000, as investors reacted to NATO allies' call to significantly increase their defense spending. According to the plan, each member country must spend 5% of its GDP on defense, which is three times the current level and could have a significant impact on inflation rates.
Investors are now focused on the upcoming Federal Reserve decision on interest rates, with nearly 89% believing that rates will be lowered. When interest rates decrease, the likelihood of investors taking on riskier investment positions increases, which could benefit the cryptocurrency markets looking for a new upward trend after a recent period of instability.$BTC
