White House Crypto Czar David Sacks Pushes for Stablecoin Legislation

The U.S. is moving closer to clear crypto regulations, and the first big step could be stablecoin legislation. David Sacks, the newly appointed White House AI and crypto czar, is making it his top priority.

Speaking on press “Closing Bell Over Time”, Sacks emphasized the urgency of moving a stablecoin bill through Congress. “They are very committed to getting this done this year,” he said, adding that it could happen within the next six months.

What’s in the Works?

Sacks, alongside key lawmakers, is backing a stablecoin bill introduced by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.). The goal? Create a clear regulatory framework for stablecoins, ensuring they are secure, transparent, and aligned with U.S. financial policies.

🔹 Stablecoins are gaining popularity worldwide, but most adoption is happening outside the U.S.
🔹 Lawmakers believe a well-regulated stablecoin market in the U.S. can reinforce the dollar’s dominance in digital finance.
🔹 Supporters argue this could unlock trillions in new demand for the dollar and help lower long-term interest rates.

Who’s Leading the Charge?

Sacks was joined at a press conference by top financial leaders in Washington, including:
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) – Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee
Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) – Chair of the House Financial Services Committee
Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) – Head of the Senate Agriculture Committee

Together, they outlined broader crypto policy goals, such as:
Defining which crypto assets fall under securities laws
Creating a legal path for token issuers to gain regulatory approval
Addressing concerns over crypto lending, staking, and exchange-traded products

The Bigger Picture

Sacks’ growing influence in Washington signals a major shift in crypto policy. Once a critic of Trump, he has since become a key figure in the administration, even hosting a $12 million fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign last year.

His first major event as crypto czar was Tuesday’s press conference, where he boldly stated:
“I look forward to working with each of you in creating a golden age in digital assets.”

Sacks was also seen at Trump’s inauguration and the Crypto Ball, where he declared:
“The war on crypto is over.”

What’s Next?

With a pro-crypto White House and regulatory clarity on the horizon, the industry could see a major transformation in 2025. The SEC is already gathering public feedback, signaling that crypto’s future in the U.S. is being shaped right now.

Will this push for stablecoin regulation open the floodgates for institutional adoption? Or will regulatory hurdles slow down innovation? One thing’s for sure—big changes are coming.
