Trump's cyber strategy pledges to support cryptocurrency and blockchain security

The Trump administration's new national cyber strategy places the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies within the United States' broader push to maintain leadership in emerging technology. In a section focused on maintaining "superiority in critical and emerging technologies," the document states that the government will support the security of "cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies." "We will build secure technologies and supply chains that protect user privacy from design to deployment, including supporting the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.

We will promote the adoption of post-quantum cryptography and secure quantum computing," the strategy says. "And we will secure the AI technology stack—including our data centers—and promote innovation in AI security." By placing blockchain security alongside AI and post-quantum cryptography, the strategy frames decentralized financial infrastructure as part of the nation’s technology competition with foreign rivals.
