President Donald Trump took another step toward his promise to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet” on Thursday, signing an executive order aimed at promoting the domestic cryptocurrency sector and exploring the possibility of a new national digital asset stockpile.

President Trump just signed an executive order designed to promote U.S. leadership in digital assets and financial technology.

President Trump's Jan. 23 executive order creates a crypto task force to craft rules and study a national reserve or stockpile of digital assets.
