White House Spokesman: We're Watching Bitcoin

The Trump administration said it began to monitor cryptocurrencies, in particular bitcoin, after its rate reached unexpectedly high levels..

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said during a press briefing that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are "something our team is watching.".

In response to a question from reporters if the US government plans to regulate cryptocurrencies, Sanders noted that no announcements are being prepared on this so far, adding that the topic was raised at a meeting with the group responsible for internal security and led by Tom Bossert, this week..

“I know he's watching this. We will inform you when we have more information, ”she said..

Previously, the White House showed interest in blockchain, but not in cryptocurrencies. For example, Mark Calabria, lead economist for US Vice President Mike Pence, said in March that the Trump administration recognizes the merits of technology..
