U.S. President Joe Biden signed a long-awaited, first-of-its-kind executive order on cryptocurrencies on Wednesday.

Here’s what you need to know 🧵 coindesk.com/policy/2022/03…
Biden's executive order defines six “key priorities” for the administration:
• protecting U.S. consumers
• protecting global financial stability
• preventing illicit uses
• promoting “responsible innovation”
• financial inclusion
• U.S. leadership
coindesk.com/policy/2022/03…
The executive order directs federal agencies to better communicate their work in the digital asset sector.

But it doesn’t lay out specific positions the administration wants the agencies to adopt.

The infrastructure bill alerted crypto's leading companies to the need to spend more on advocacy in DC.

Since the summer, a dozen new groups have filed to retain lobbyists, @rrgarver reports for CoinDesk's "Policy Week."

“The infrastructure bill fight made it real for a lot of people who weren’t paying attention to D.C., that D.C. is paying attention to crypto,” said @NeerajKA.

#Crypto2022 #DCFintechweek
“The core group of subject matter experts and lobbyists just said ... ‘we’ve got to get together on this front,’” said @RonwHammond @BlockchainAssn. “We all combined forces to be a big strong voice.”

According to leading financial educator @ricedelman, a #bitcoin ETF is inevitable.

He joins @TR401 for that discussion.
