David Sacks, the newly appointed crypto czar under President Donald Trump, has expressed confidence that the U.S. will quickly close the gap in the global digital asset race.
In a recent interview with Fox Business, Sacks emphasized that Trump’s executive order aimed at establishing clear cryptocurrency guidelines will pave the way for the U.S. to catch up to countries like Singapore that have been at the forefront of digital asset adoption.
Sacks stated, “We’re going to make rapid progress. The innovation was drifting overseas, particularly to places like Singapore and parts of Europe, which were ahead of us. However, I believe that dynamic is going to change very quickly.”

Sacks identified three key areas of focus for the U.S. government in shaping the future of digital assets:
