According to ChainCatcher, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Digital Assets Advisory Council, stated at the 2025 Korea Blockchain Week conference that the crypto market structure bill is expected to pass by the end of 2025. This bill aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets and will clarify the division of responsibilities between the CFTC and SEC in crypto regulation. Witt emphasized that the White House is actively promoting the return of overseas crypto enterprises and stated that the government is always ready to engage in dialogue with the industry. Currently, the Republican-led "CLARITY Act" has received bipartisan support and passed in the House of Representatives, and the Senate has also introduced the "2025 Responsible Financial Innovation Act."

On September 23, it was reported that Harry Jung, Deputy Director of the U.S. Presidential Digital Asset Advisory Committee, and Patrick Witt, Executive Director, shared the committee's core work objectives at the KBW 2025 summit in Korea: accelerating the passage of the Digital Asset Act, building a strategic bitcoin reserve, providing clear crypto tax guidance through the IRS and Treasury Department, and protecting the rights of technology developers. The two stated that at the White House, they are collaborating in an "all-of-government" approach, advancing crypto policy by combining the efforts of multiple departments such as the CFTC, Department of Commerce, and Treasury Department. Regarding the risk of policy reversal due to a change in administration, they said they are "laying a solid foundation" through current legislative and regulatory frameworks to ensure that future governments will find it difficult to overturn the current policy direction. They believe that as long as the crypto industry can flourish and take root deeply in the United States, the U.S. crypto strategy will become irreversible.
