Vice President JD Vance gave the keynote at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, highlighting the Trump administration’s pro-Bitcoin stance and unveiling the next steps for crypto regulation. According to Yahoo!, Vance reaffirmed support for crypto-friendly reforms, including an SEC overhaul and the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. He previewed upcoming legislation to regulate dollar-pegged stablecoins and codify the Reserve, framing Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset aligned with American values like freedom and innovation. The administration sees Bitcoin as a geopolitical advantage, particularly against China. Concerns are growing over potential conflicts of interest as Vice President JD Vance holds nearly $500,000 in Bitcoin and Trump's media company plans a $2.5 billion Bitcoin purchase. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. also have personal stakes in Bitcoin ventures, raising ethical questions amid the administration’s pro-crypto policies.
