Trump didn‘t mention ‘crypto’ once in White House cybercrime roundtable
Trump's silence on crypto at a White House cybercrime roundtable signals policy ambiguity.
Context
What happened: Trump hosted a White House roundtable on cybercrime on Wednesday. He did not use the terms "crypto" or "cryptocurrency," referring only to "cybercurrency" tied to scams.
Key numbers: Trump said Americans lost more than $20 billion to cybercrime in 2025.
Why it matters: Reports before the event signaled a crackdown on foreign crypto scams would be the focus, yet neither Trump nor Attorney General Todd Blanche explicitly used the terms "cryptocurrency" or "digital assets." The roundtable came as the administration faces scrutiny over digital asset holdings.
