Bitcoin News Today: Trump Crypto Working Group to Release Final Report July 30 Outlining Regulatory Frameworks and Potential Bitcoin Reserve

The Trump administration’s Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets is set to publish its final 180-day report on July 30, following the executive order signed by President Donald Trump in January to establish the task force. Bo Hines, the group’s executive director, confirmed the release date via Twitter, emphasizing the U.S. is “leading the way on digital asset policy.” The report, developed by officials from the Treasury, SEC, CFTC, DOJ, and other agencies, will address regulatory frameworks for digital assets, including stablecoin oversight, token classification, enforcement reforms, and the potential creation of a Bitcoin reserve using seized government assets [1].

Experts anticipate the report will focus on legislative proposals tied to the recently enacted GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, which aim to clarify regulatory responsibilities and streamline compliance for crypto businesses. CA Sonu Jain, chief risk and compliance officer at 9Point Capital, noted the report is expected to “tie everything together,” covering market integrity, taxation, and enforcement clarity to position the U.S. as a “crypto capital” [1]. Monica Jasuja, chief expansion and innovation officer at Emerging Payments Association Asia, highlighted the likely avoidance of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) due to privacy concerns and a preference for USD-pegged stablecoins with clearer regulations. She added the report may propose leveraging existing seized digital assets to build a federal crypto reserve, avoiding direct market competition [1].

The working group’s mandate includes evaluating the feasibility of a “strategic national digital assets stockpile,” a concept analysts describe as a “more structured and sovereign approach” to managing crypto exposure. Pranav Agarwal, an independent director at Jetking Infotrain India, emphasized the importance of identifying cost-neutral methods to accumulate Bitcoin using existing government holdings rather than taxpayer funds [1]. The report’s success will depend on its ability to deliver “regulatory clarity,” according to Jasuja, which could solidify the U.S. as a global leader in digital finance infrastructure [1].

The administration’s approach appears pragmatic, balancing innovation with risk mitigation. While the report may not propose a retail CBDC, it is expected to emphasize international collaboration and regulatory alignment. The 180-day timeline required agencies to identify existing digital asset regulations within 30 days, recommend changes within 60 days, and consolidate findings into a comprehensive proposal [1].
