- A crypto strategy report is set for release by the White House, marking a major milestone in national digital asset policy.
- Crypto-backed mortgages and 401(k)s are under consideration, signaling mainstream financial integration of digital assets.
- The GENIUS Act and strategy report could ignite institutional adoption, positioning the U.S. as a global leader in crypto finance.
Crypto innovation and regulation are set to reach a new milestone as the long-awaited national strategy for crypto report, compiled by a White House task force initiated during President Donald Trump’s tenure, is scheduled for release this Wednesday.
The report will allegedly become the very first definitive expression of the Trump-era crypto initiative, unveiling months of coordinated policy work alongside interagency deliberation.
First reported by Reuters, the report will outline the government’s proposed strategic approach to regulating and promoting innovation within the digital asset market, including tokenization, blockchain finance, and crypto markets.
The report comes out of the January executive order signed by Trump, in which he signaled a unified federal approach to crypto policy. The plan is expected to call for policy in favor of technological progress but set strict regulatory guardrails for the preservation of financial integrity, sources explain.
The report may be recommending a special role for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the regulation of tokenized securities such as blockchain stocks and bonds, said one of the senior officials. The document will also make reference to the forthcoming congressional legislation that aims to give the U.S. crypto market legal clarity, another official indicated.
White House Backs Crypto in Traditional Finance
The most radical part of the document is the purported support for the inclusion of digital coins in regular financial products, including mortgage appraisals and retirement savings plans like 401(k)s. The step, if followed, would alter the perception of crypto fortunes among mainstream institutions.
“If the report does give the nod to the inclusion of crypto in mortgage evaluations and retirement allocations, then that would be a defining moment for financial innovation,” opined Liat Shetret, Vice President of Global Policy for blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. “We’re referring to reshaping the balance of asset classes in household finance.”
The step could bring greater access to realty and investment products for crypto-wealthy Americans, but would also bring operability and risk assessment challenges for financial institutions, lenders, and pension managers.
Although speculation has been rife about the possibility of a national Bitcoin reserve or cryptocurrency stockpile, policy analysts note that clarity of regulations is the ultimate prize. The plan is also expected to call for an interagency plan that dictates the roles of primary regulators like the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Treasury Department.
“Markets demand predictability,” stated Shetret. “Institutions want a balanced regulatory system that fosters innovation but also has oversight. The report could be the template for that.”
The need for a unified federal response grows as the states have crafted their patchwork of regulations, creating confusion and danger for both investors and startups.

GENIUS Act Sets Stage for U.S. Crypto Market Shake-Up
The release of the strategy report comes at a critical time for the digital currency market. In early January, President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, sweeping legislation that aims to institute official oversight for stablecoins and institute standardized national licensing guidelines for digital asset firms. The move was a serious step in the direction of regulatory sophistication.
If the report is of the same pro-innovation tone as the GENIUS Act, the floodgates of institutional engagement could be opened, new products could be catalyzed, and the United States could become the world’s digital finance leader.
With the market poised for the release of the report, impacts are destined to run through markets, from Wall Street trading desks to those of the decentralized finance group, reordering the interactions of the world’s largest economy with digital assets.
