The current US administration has been pushing forward an aggressive crypto agenda with three main pillars. First, the GENIUS Act—critics argue it's essentially a backdoor approach to CBDC implementation. Second, the CLARITY Act combined with market structure reforms that would tokenize virtually all non-monetary assets while simultaneously introducing CBDC-level surveillance mechanisms. Third, a crackdown on crypto activists and figures: enforcement actions against Ian Freeman, Roger Ver, Roman Storm, and Keonne have signaled an intensified regulatory posture. Whether these policies aim at consumer protection or represent deeper concerns about decentralized finance adoption remains contested among industry observers.
