Author: Aleks Gilbert, DL News Translation: Wu Shuo The past year, the United States experienced a crypto policy revolution. In less than a year of his second term, President Donald Trump appointed industry-friendly regulators who ended investigations into crypto companies, made it easier for banks to hold crypto assets, and also facilitated asset management firms in launching crypto-related ETFs. Under Trump's push, lawmakers passed landmark legislation on stablecoins and made significant progress in market structure legislation. After these victories became facts, it’s natural to wonder whether 2026 will still be an important year for crypto policy. The short answer is: yes. So, without further ado, here are some key dates for US crypto policy in 2026. January January is destined to be a month of events
