About this episode

The episode discusses the recent shift in the crypto landscape following President Trump's comments on the 'Anti-Crypto Army' and the implications for digital assets in the U.S.

For years, many in crypto believed there was a coordinated effort to slow, restrict, and push digital asset innovation out of the United States. This week, that conversation changed. President Trump directly called out what he described as the "Anti-Crypto Army," blaming regulators and policymakers for driving innovation offshore and promising a future-proof digital asset market structure designed to ensure America remains the Crypto Capital of the World.
