Vice President JD Vance pledged his support to the cryptocurrency industry and called out Washington bureaucrats during a cryptocurrency-focused speech in Las Vegas.

“Will we lead our nation into a future of financial sovereignty, of innovation, and of prosperity, or will we let unelected bureaucrats and foreign competitors write the rules for us?” Vance said at the Bitcoin 2025 conference. “I’m here today to say loud and clear that with President Trump, crypto finally has a champion and an ally in the White House.”
