The White House released a cyber strategy document, for the first time incorporating cryptocurrency and blockchain technology into its security framework.
According to a report by Odaily Planet Daily, Alex Thorn, Research Director at Galaxy Research, stated on the X platform that the White House has released the U.S. cyber strategy document, "President Trump's Cyber Strategy for America." This 7-page strategy, comprising 6 pillars, emphasizes cyber offense and deterrence, but offers limited details on specific implementation. For the first time, the document explicitly mentions cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in a U.S. cybersecurity strategy, stating the need for "protection and security." Previously, Joe Biden's 2023 National Cyber Security Strategy did not mention these technologies. However, the strategy also proposes to "eradicate criminal infrastructure and cut off financial exit routes," and will work in conjunction with a new executive order to combat transnational cybercrime. Analysts believe this statement may provide a policy basis for regulators to strengthen their crackdown on coin mixers, privacy coins, and unregulated deposit and withdrawal channels. Furthermore, the strategy proposes expanding offensive cyber operations authority and plans to mobilize the private sector to combat hostile networks, while also promoting AI-driven automated cyber defense systems. The accompanying executive order will also establish a new operational unit within the National Coordination Center to coordinate law enforcement against transnational cybercrime groups.
