Trump mentions importance of Bitcoin and crypto legislation at Davos in rambling speech

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday reiterated in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos that he wanted the States to remain the “crypto capital of the world.”

Speaking for over one hour on a number of topics, the president told a largely silent audience that new crypto legislation would unlock “new pathways to reach new financial freedom.”

“To unleash innovation and savings and financing, I’m also working to ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world,” President Trump said, mentioning the signing of the Genius Act last year.

“Now congress is working very hard on crypto market structure legislation — Bitcoin, all of them,” he added.

“More importantly, China wanted that [crypto] market too, just like they wanted the AI,” he continued.

China banned crypto trading in the country in 2013. It is betting more on the digital yuan, its central bank digital currency.

President Trump campaigned on a ticket to help the crypto space and received financial banking from major players in the industry.

Since taking office, the Republican has signed crypto-friendly legislation such as the Genius Act, which establishes a framework for regulating stablecoins.

He has also fired off a barrage of sweeping executive orders to introduce a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, and create a working group. The White House has also appointed several industry supporters into key government roles.

Regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission have also dropped a number of lawsuits against digital asset companies and taken a far friendlier approach to watchdogging the fast-moving sphere.

President Trump’s comments come as the US leader’s first family pushes further into the crypto world, with the leader and his sons bemoaning top banks denying them services, leaving them no choice but to manage finances via digital assets.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale

The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
