President Biden issued an executive order on crypto in March 2022, a move aimed at establishing a coordinated and comprehensive approach to crypto policy across the federal government. The order aimed to address the “risks and harness the potential benefits of digital assets and their underlying technology,” the White House said in a March press release.
The executive order called for exploring a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC) and mitigating the illicit finance as well as “national security risks posed by the illicit use of digital assets.” House, who co-authored the order, described it in an interview as a “balanced” approach to overseeing the crypto industry, while acknowledging that there are still “gaps” that need to be addressed.
