Trump signs executive order for crypto working group, prohibiting CBDC

US President Donald Trump has signed his first executive order potentially affecting crypto users and industry leaders, which many expected during his first days in office.

In a televised address from the Oval Office on Jan. 23, Trump appeared with his "AI and crypto czar" David Sacks, who explained the executive order to the US president.

According to Sacks, the EO establishes an "internal working group to make America the world capital in crypto," with himself chairing the effort.

The order also prohibits "the establishment, issuance, circulation, and use" of a US central bank digital currency (CBDC) and asks the working group to study the potential creation and maintenance of a national crypto stockpile and a regulatory framework for stablecoins.
