At Davos 2026, US President Donald Trump highlighted crypto as a strategic priority, emphasizing his goal to make the United States the world’s crypto capital. Speaking briefly on the global stage, Trump linked pending legislation, including the CLARITY Act, to the need to outpace China in crypto development.

Trump framed regulation as a geopolitical tool, calling crypto both politically popular and essential for national competitiveness. His remarks came alongside major financial figures like BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, though crypto comprised only a small portion of his address. The message underscores Washington’s intent to use policy to shape global digital asset leadership.
