President Donald Trump’s newly released National Cyber Strategy signals potential long-term support for crypto infrastructure by identifying blockchain and cryptocurrencies as technologies the U.S. intends to secure.
The strategy outlines six policy pillars aimed at strengthening U.S. cybersecurity leadership, including protecting critical infrastructure and sustaining innovation in technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and quantum computing.
“We will build secure technologies and supply chains that protect user privacy from design to deployment, including supporting the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies,”
The strategy states.
The policy document also emphasises the importance of post-quantum cryptography, an emerging field designed to protect digital systems from future quantum-computing threats that could undermine existing encryption.
Industry observers noted the direct reference to blockchain technology, with Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy, highlighting on social media that cryptocurrencies and blockchain were specifically named as systems requiring protection.
Beyond crypto, the strategy calls for stronger security around financial systems, data centres and telecommunications infrastructure while encouraging collaboration between government agencies, private technology companies and research institutions.
Although the document does not introduce specific digital-asset regulations, its focus on safeguarding blockchain networks and digital infrastructure suggests the technology may increasingly be viewed as part of the United States’ broader strategic tech ecosystem.
