US gov’t actions give clue about upcoming crypto regulation

The early days of the Trump administration saw a flurry of activity that could give the crypto industry an idea of forthcoming crypto regulations, namely that they may not be regulated as securities. 

Practitioners have decried a lack of concrete change in the form of new rules and guidance. The skeptics have their reasons. The formation of the crypto task force, President Donald Trump’s crypto executive order, crypto czar David Sacks’ lone press conference and the digital asset reserve have been criticized as mere theater.
