The White House released the U.S. Cyber Strategy, for the first time listing encryption and blockchain as technologies that need protection

Galaxy Research's research director Alex Thorn posted on the X platform that the White House has released the U.S. cyber strategy document titled "President Trump's Cyber Strategy for America." This strategy consists of 7 pages and 6 main pillars, emphasizing cyber offense and deterrence, but it is somewhat limited in specific implementation details. For the first time, the document explicitly mentions cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in the U.S. cybersecurity strategy, stating the need for "protection and security assurance" for these technologies, which were not addressed in the national cybersecurity strategy released by Joe Biden in 2023.

However, the strategy also proposes to "eradicate criminal infrastructure and cut off financial exit routes," and it will be accompanied by a new executive order to combat transnational cybercrime. Analysts believe that this statement may provide a policy basis for regulators to strengthen their crackdown on mixers, privacy coins, and unregulated inflow and outflow channels. Additionally, the strategy proposes to expand the authority for offensive cyber operations and plans to mobilize the private sector to combat hostile networks while promoting AI-driven automated cyber defense systems. The accompanying executive order will also establish a new action unit within the national coordination center to coordinate law enforcement against transnational cybercrime groups.
