US venture capitalist and new “Crypto Czar” David Sacks has outlined plans to develop a regulatory framework for crypto assets in the US. Alongside Republican lawmakers, Sacks aims to create legislation that could be passed through Congress within six months.
Sacks’ focus will primarily be on stablecoins, cryptocurrencies whose value is pegged to real-world assets like the US dollar. He emphasizes the need for a clear regulatory framework to support the digital assets ecosystem, stating that moving legislation through Congress takes time but believes it’s achievable in six months.
The new Crypto Czar has joined forces with notable figures such as Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. French Hill to advance a stablecoin bill. The bill aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for stablecoin usage and facilitate US-based issuance, which could spur demand for the dollar and lower long-term interest rates.
Sacks’ agenda includes evaluating the feasibility of a Bitcoin reserve, an idea previously suggested by President Trump during his campaign. While not committed to implementation, it remains an important consideration.
As the new Crypto Czar, Sacks brings connections to the White House, positioning him as a key player in shaping the administration’s approach to digital assets. His presence at high-profile events signals his commitment to fostering a supportive environment for the cryptocurrency industry.
