Report: Biden is working on an executive order to control the digital currency industry

Recent reports indicate that the Biden government apparently intends to use the executive order to legislate digital currencies. Biden’s goal is said to be to make the digital currency industry more transparent and more oversight.

The president seems to be seeking an executive order to make the digital currency space more transparent and to have better control over the industry and related activities.

Because Biden is unable to directly enact effective digital currency legislation, he wants to enforce the rules by enforcing the decree, which is one of the political powers of the US president.

My main impression of this topic [این است که] Jay Clayto [رئیس سابق کمیسیون بورس آمریکا] It is joining the ranks of those who say that digital currencies lack legal transparency, and that this is undermining innovation in the United States. It is obviously ironic, but [اقدامِ] It is better to be late than not to act.

Both sides of the story have reacted quickly and clearly to this issue. For example, David Gokhstein, founder of the PAC Protocol, said Biden’s move could bring more transparency to the digital currency ecosystem and foster innovation. However, Rick McCracken, in the Cardano Live podcast, called for a reaction from digital currency activists, comparing Biden to Roosevelt’s 1933 executive order. Under a 1933 executive order, the US government banned the use of gold as backing money, and the Treasury Department banned the sale of gold against the dollar.
