  • Diplomatic Efforts and Crypto Policy Dominate Treasury Secretary Bessent's Agenda

    Diplomatic Efforts and Crypto Policy Dominate Treasury Secretary Bessent's Agenda
    Feb 10 2026
    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is advancing key diplomatic and policy efforts this week. Senior United States Treasury officials wrapped up a high stakes visit to Beijing last week, paving the way for Bessent to hold direct trade talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. According to Finviz, this staff level mission strengthened communication channels ahead of President Donald Trumps anticipated summit with President Xi Jinping in April. Bessent announced on Monday that working groups are focused on sustaining diplomatic progress, including Chinas compliance with agricultural purchase targets like 12 million metric tons of United States soybeans by late February. Finviz reports these steps build on a December phone call with United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and He Lifeng, aiming for stable bilateral trade ties.

    On cryptocurrency policy, the White House Crypto Policy Council met with industry executives and traditional finance leaders on February 2 to discuss digital asset market structure legislation. Paul Hastings Crypto Policy Tracker notes Bessent urged stakeholders to reach agreement for the bill to become law, emphasizing safe oversight alongside crypto freedom. As chair of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, Bessent delivered his annual report to House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees on February 4 and 5. He confirmed the Treasury Department is implementing the GENIUS Act with deliberate speed, clarifying that the strategic digital asset reserve involves retaining over 15 billion dollars in seized bitcoin from criminal cases, not taxpayer funds.

    Bessent addressed Federal Reserve balance sheet plans in a Fox News interview on February 8. Reuters reports he expects the Fed, even under nominee Kevin Warsh, to take up to a year to decide on adjustments, given its current six point six trillion dollar holdings after quantitative tightening.

    He also faced tough questions during Capitol Hill hearings on housing costs, immigration impacts, and credit card industry issues, refusing to name specific bad actors, as covered by Economic Times.

    Meanwhile, the United States United Kingdom Transatlantic Taskforce, launched by Bessent and United Kingdom Chancellor Rachel Reeves last year, hosted industry talks in London this week. The United Kingdom government site states this seeks input to enhance financial ties between the hubs, with more engagements planned.

  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Diplomatic and Economic Initiatives Strengthen U.S. Trade and Crypto Regulation

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's Diplomatic and Economic Initiatives Strengthen U.S. Trade and Crypto Regulation
    Feb 10 2026
    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is advancing key diplomatic and economic initiatives this week. Senior U.S. Treasury officials wrapped up a high-stakes visit to Beijing last week, paving the way for Bessent to hold direct trade talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. According to Finviz, this staff-level mission focused on strengthening communication channels ahead of President Donald Trumps anticipated summit with President Xi Jinping in April. Bessent announced on Monday that working groups aim to sustain positive momentum, with China on track to meet commitments like purchasing 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans by late February. These steps build on a December call between Bessent, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, and He Lifeng to stabilize bilateral trade.

    In cryptocurrency policy, Bessent urged industry stakeholders to unite behind market structure legislation during White House Crypto Policy Council meetings. Paul Hastings Crypto Policy Tracker reports that Bessent, as chair of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, told House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees the Treasury is implementing the GENIUS Act with deliberate speed. He clarified the strategic digital asset reserve involves retaining over 15 billion dollars in seized bitcoin from criminal cases, not taxpayer funds. A second White House meeting on digital assets is set for today, February 10.

    On monetary policy, Bessent told Fox News Sunday that the Federal Reserve will take its time deciding on balance sheet adjustments, even under potential chief Kevin Warsh. Reuters notes the Feds holdings stand at 6.6 trillion dollars after recent quantitative tightening, with no quick moves expected.

    Earlier, Bessent faced tough questions on Capitol Hill about housing costs and immigration impacts, refusing to name specific bad actors, as covered by Economic Times. The U.S. UK Transatlantic Taskforce, which he helped launch last year, held industry talks in London on January 26 to boost capital markets and digital asset links, per UK government news.

    These moves highlight Bessents focus on trade, crypto regulation, and financial stability amid global tensions.

  • Crypto Regulation: Treasury Secretary Clarifies Limits of Federal Power, Addresses China's Digital Asset Challenge

    Crypto Regulation: Treasury Secretary Clarifies Limits of Federal Power, Addresses China's Digital Asset Challenge
    Feb 8 2026
    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has made several significant statements this week regarding the government's approach to cryptocurrency and digital assets. During congressional testimony on February 4th, Bessent clarified the limits of federal authority over Bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets. He emphasized that the Treasury Department and the Financial Stability Oversight Council do not have the power to mandate that commercial banks purchase Bitcoin or use taxpayer funds for cryptocurrency investments. Bessent stressed that any Bitcoin currently held by the government comes from judicial seizures, not from deliberate investment strategies using tax revenue. This clarification was aimed at dispelling misconceptions about potential government involvement in propping up or backing cryptocurrencies during financial stress.

    In more recent testimony before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday, Bessent shifted focus to America's competitive position in the global digital asset space. He expressed concern about China's potential challenge to United States leadership in digital assets, particularly through Hong Kong's development as a cryptocurrency hub. According to Bessent, there are rumors that China may be exploring digital assets backed by something other than the yuan, such as gold, though he acknowledged the government cannot yet confirm these claims. Hong Kong has established licensing regimes for centralized crypto exchanges and stablecoin issuers since late 2022, and has launched exchange traded funds that invest directly in major cryptocurrency tokens.

    Bessent emphasized that maintaining American financial leadership requires passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a bipartisan bill that would establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrency markets. He expressed confidence that with bipartisan support, the legislation can pass this year, though some industry players including Coinbase have raised concerns about specific provisions. The Treasury Secretary made clear that the United States strategy involves supporting private sector digital assets with strong regulation and best practices, rather than pursuing central bank digital currencies like those being developed by China and Europe.
