According to CoinMeta, at the White House luncheon on September 29, 2026, Trump referred to the entire blockchain security concept as a “scam” and a “pathological conspiracy,” specifically mentioning Bitcoin. During the luncheon, Trump’s tone shifted from conspiracy theories to calling for “great self-regulation” and he promised not to suppress technological developments that he considered more important than the Industrial Revolution. He even proposed to establish a 10-person committee to oversee the industry, indicating a shift from ideological battles to more traditional state-led industrial policies. At the same time, public concerns about blockchain still exist; a poll by NBC shows that 70% of adults are worried about blockchain, and 57% of Republicans share the same view.
