Vice President JD Vance and Donald Trump's sons promoted cryptocurrency at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, highlighting its potential to benefit Americans. While cryptocurrency adoption remains relatively low (around 7-17% depending on the source), Vance emphasized its role in financial inclusion, particularly for the unbanked. Recent data shows a decline in crypto usage since 2021, but proponents argue it's becoming more mainstream, citing the increasing number of Bitcoin owners. The Trump administration's support for crypto was also noted, including the recent withdrawal of Labor Department guidance discouraging crypto investments in 401ks.
