At the Bitcoin 2025 conference, US Vice President JD Vance delivered a keynote speech, urging the Bitcoin community to get more involved in politics. The details are as follows:
The Importance of Political Involvement: Vance emphasized that political decisions and bureaucratic actions will have an impact on the cryptocurrency industry. He asked the Bitcoin community to carry forward the momentum of political involvement from 2024 to 2026 and beyond, reminding them not to ignore politics because politics will not ignore the Bitcoin community.
The Significance of Bitcoin: Vance pointed out that Bitcoin is of strategic and geopolitical importance. In the era of digital finance, the US needs to maintain its leadership in the cryptocurrency industry to remain competitive. He also stated that Bitcoin is a symbol and driving force of personal freedom for US citizens, which can hedge against bad policies from Washington, inflation, and the deprivation of banking services by private enterprises.
The Trump Administration’s Stance: Vance praised the cryptocurrency industry and said that the Trump administration supports pro – crypto legislation. He mentioned that the industry has a certain influence in elections and can promote innovation. He also pointed out that the Trump administration has taken a series of measures to support the development of the cryptocurrency industry, such as establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the federal government, pardoning Ross Ulbricht, and removing Gary Gensler from his position. The administration aims to create a clear regulatory framework for stablecoins, promote the integration of cryptocurrencies into the mainstream economic system, and end the weaponization of cryptocurrency regulation.
Expectations for the Bitcoin Community: Vance hopes that cryptocurrency executives and enthusiasts will continue to put pressure on Congress to pass pro – crypto legislation supported by the White House, and work together with the government to shape the future of innovation and freedom in the US.
