    Crypto Executive Order ‘Short on Clarity’ Hailed by Sector

    The Biden administration’s long-awaited executive order for government agencies to take a closer look at issues surrounding the crypto market is being celebrated by industry participants despite it lacking a clear path on possible regulation. 

    “The executive order is quite vague. They still talk a lot about the need to keep restrictions on this asset class,” said Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co., said. “However, it is still the kind of signal that the Washington, D.C., establishment is becoming more comfortable with cryptos and that is bullish.”

    Bitcoin rallied as much as 11% on Wednesday. Ether, the second-largest token, gained more than 8%, while so-called altcoins also rallied. The advance is in line with other risk assets, like stocks, which have been under pressure amid the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of crypto platform Nexo, cautioned investors to “expect further volatility as we seek clarity from the regulatory haze and the ripple effects from Ukraine continue to felt across the world.”

    Nonetheless, others are claiming the executive order as a victory for the sector. Grayscale Chief Legal Officer Craig Salm, called the directive “incredibly positive” during an interview.

    Here’s what else market participants are saying:

    Jeremy Allaire, co-founder, chief executive officer, and chairman of Circle:

    “The Biden Administration’s Executive Order on digital assets represents a watershed moment for crypto and Web3, akin to when the government in the 90s realized the commercial power of the internet. The U.S. government now has a whole-of-government approach for supporting the open, internet-native economic infrastructure ushered in by new Web3 technologies, bringing the country a step closer to ensuring the U.S. dollar remains the currency of the internet and that the U.S. remains the home of principled innovation and competition.”

    Trenchev of crypto platform Nexo:

    “Although President Biden’s executive order leaves us short of clarity on the regulatory pathway, it’s clear his administration believes that staying out of crypto will be to the nation’s detriment, akin to missing out on building out the infrastructure of the internet in the early 1990s. The US doesn’t want to be left behind as other countries look at ways to oversee the crypto industry.”

    Barbara Matthews, founder and chief executive officer of BCMStrategy Inc.:

    “As we expected last week, significant shifts in the center of gravity regarding crypto mining require US authorities to take a nuanced approach to cryptocurrency regulation. Increased direct competition with Russia on mining and obvious incentives to crack down on potential back door evasion of financial sanctions are being balanced against a growing US mining presence and a deep commitment by US banks and the Federal Reserve to stablecoin initiatives. Globally, the significant efforts underway to by central banks to compete with cryptocurrencies through sovereign-issued digital currencies is under-appreciated.”

    Leah Wald, CEO at Valkyrie Funds, an asset manager focused on digital assets:

    “This executive order arrived largely as expected, in regards to tasking agencies with rule making and the establishment of guidelines around our industry. We welcome this development and fully believe that regulatory clarity will lead to a significant growth of adoption across blockchain projects and digital assets. Further encouraging is that the government is now actively looking to establish a digital dollar, which will absolutely be necessary for our economy to compete on a global stage with countries like China that already have CBDCs. Development of a digital dollar will also likely be vastly helpful in helping our government learn more about our industry, and we encourage them to engage with leaders in the space for guidance and advice on how to bring the project to market.”

    Hany Rashwan, CEO and Co-founder of 21Shares, a crypto ETPs provider:

    “At 21Shares, we’ve always believed that the best way to introduce and expose investors to crypto is through a safe and regulated approach. Today’s executive order is a significant step for U.S. investors looking to capitalize on the most lucrative asset class of the last decade, and we believe for the next decade to come.” 

    Meltem Demirors, chief strategy officer at crypto fund-provider CoinShares:

    “It’s the same song and dance in Washington D.C., which is, let’s study it. The executive order was full of statements that were leading statements that were factually questionable and made certain implications about how cryptocurrencies are being used, about the purported environmental impacts. So I think it’s very clear what the bias of the administration is, but we’ll see what comes out of it,” she said. “At the end of the day, the order can only address the departments of the administration that are under the purview of the president. The SEC and CFTC are independent agencies — and therefore only mentioned a handful of times in the order as entities to be consulted — but these two regulatory bodies will likely be most important in defining the regulations that shape the future of crypto markets.”

    FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried:

    “We applaud the Biden administration for recognizing the growing importance of the digital-asset space and believe today’s executive order is a significant step forward in building a strong regulated environment in the U.S. Innovation will always need to be coupled with safeguards and protections.”
