Tuesday. February 4 at 8:00 PM
1 min. readPresident Donald Trump signed an executive order on February 3, calling for the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund. This order builds on a previous directive for a national digital asset stockpile, indicating a growing emphasis on strategic financial reserves. The order tasks the Treasury and Commerce Secretaries with developing a detailed plan for the fund within 90 days. The aim is to utilize returns from the fund to enhance fiscal sustainability, reduce tax burdens, ensure long-term economic security, and bolster US economic leadership globally. While the order did not mention cryptocurrencies explicitly, it generated excitement among Bitcoin supporters, particularly due to Senator Cynthia Lummis' positive response. The move also coincides with various US states introducing bills to promote crypto adoption and regulatory clarity, reflecting a broader trend towards embracing digital assets in the country.
