This strategic move, aimed at restructuring the regulatory framework for digital assets, quickly attracted high attention from the global crypto industry, financial institutions, and regulators. As a core implementation action of the Trump administration's "pro-crypto" regulatory shift,**this plan breaks the previous passive pattern of "enforcement instead of regulation" in the United States regarding crypto assets, attempting to balance innovation incentives and risk control by establishing stable and clear formal rules, while seeking the CFTC's core position in the field of crypto regulation.** ### Related Stocks - [iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [First Trust Indxx Invtv Tnsctn&Prcs ETF (LEGR.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LEGR.US.md) - [Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [Bakkt, Inc.
