U.S. Crypto Regulation: Key Developments in Trump’s First Week
Dechert issues key update on regulation of this hot sector.
In January 2025, the U.S. made significant strides in reshaping its cryptocurrency regulatory landscape through a series of critical developments.
They include the establishment of a dedicated crypto task force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, aiming to create a clearer, more comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto assets by defining key regulatory boundaries, streamlining registration processes, establishing disclosure guidelines, and refining the strategic use of enforcement actions.
Meanwhile, President Trump issued an executive order creating the “Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets” to review the current crypto regulatory environment.
All of these milestones were explored in a landmark update by Dechert – found here.
