TradingKey - Trump's speech at the 2025 Digital Asset Summit fell short of expectations, offering no new cryptocurrency policy announcements.
The 2025 Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City concluded on Thursday evening, with U.S. President Trump delivering a brief two-minute video address that touched on topics including Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins.
In his remarks, President Trump declared, "The United States is leading in cryptocurrency and next-generation fintech. We are ending the previous administration's regulatory war on cryptocurrency and Bitcoin." He added, "We will make the U.S. the undisputed Bitcoin superpower and the world's crypto capital."
Trump also pledged, "We will not sell the Bitcoin confiscated by the U.S. government." However, this statement is not the new establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve already implies that the government does not intend to liquidate its holdings easily.
One notable moment was Trump's call for Congress to pass stablecoin legislation aimed at reinforcing the dominance of the U.S. dollar.

Prior to the event, many market participants had anticipated the announcement of new crypto policies. However, Trump’s speech largely repeated familiar talking points and slogans, ultimately falling short of expectations with no new policies proposals introduced.
