Trump Omits Crypto From State of the Union
President Donald Trump did not reference cryptocurrency, leaving investors and observers without new federal guidance on digital-asset policy [1].
President Donald Trump made no mention of cryptocurrency, blockchain, or Bitcoin during the State of the Union address, according to multiple reports covering the speech [1][2].
Markets and investors had been watching for regulatory signals; reports note Bitcoin and other digital assets experienced price movement around the speech, including a pre-speech surge of more than 3% and rallies during the address, while the long‑awaited CLARITY Act was not referenced [1][2][4].
Separately, Kristin Smith of the Solana Policy Institute said the administration continues to work on cryptocurrency policy and that White House staffers remain engaged on the topic ahead of the address [3].
The absence of any crypto-related remarks in the speech leaves the administration's near-term policy direction on digital assets unclear to observers and market participants [1][4].
