Earlier this month, President Biden issued his Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets. The Executive Order establishes policy objectives related to digital assets and calls on the government to examine the risks and benefits of cryptocurrencies.
The Executive Order highlighted several areas that individuals need to be aware of. The measures focus on six key areas: consumer protection, financial stability, illicit activity, U.S. competitiveness, financial inclusion, and responsible innovation. Additionally, the Biden administration also wants to explore a digital version of the dollar. The entire Executive Order can be found here.
