Government efficiency in the era of digital assets is at a crossroads, and the question arises: Are we DOGE-ing it wrong by clinging to legacy models or dismissing the role of crypto in public infrastructure? Institutional adoption has been the story of 2025, as reported in the State of Crypto 2025. Major financial institutions from JPMorgan to Mastercard and Citi have moved beyond speculation, embedding stablecoin offerings directly alongside conventional assets. The landmark bipartisan passage of the GENIUS Act and House approval for the CLARITY Act provided the long-awaited regulatory clarity needed for real progress, shifting U.S. policy from skepticism to strategic support and modernizing how digital assets are integrated into government and enterprise functions.
Europe’s MiCA regulation stands as a model for structured oversight. This framework, enforced since December 2024, has attracted top fintech firms and institutional capital by offering regulatory clarity, investor protections, and cross-border compliance. According to Coinbase’s 2025 Institutional Investor Survey, 75% of institutions plan to boost allocations to digital assets, with stablecoins in particular gaining favor for their transactional efficiency. These moves suggest governments are finally shedding outdated approaches and leveraging crypto’s strengths — transparency, speed, and inclusivity.
The narrative in Asia and Africa is split. While China doubled down on its crypto ban in 2025, halting organic market growth and channeling capital into central bank digital currencies, Africa’s regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly. Ghana’s central bank, for example, is set to introduce robust crypto regulations by the end of this year, joining other nations in crafting legal frameworks aimed at both enabling innovation and minimizing risks like money laundering.
A new competitive posture has emerged: the real measure of government efficiency isn’t just about cutting red tape or automating processes, but about creating frameworks that welcome and regulate new digital primitives. The shift from improvisation to playbook is happening in real time, with U.S. agencies, the EU, and forward-thinking markets across Africa setting practical rules for exchanges, custody, and digital asset services.
So, are we DOGE-ing it wrong when it comes to government efficiency and crypto adoption? Not anymore. Governments that choose clarity, accountability, and interoperability are discovering efficiency gains that legacy systems cannot match. For listeners in the public sector, fintech, or enterprise, the takeaway is clear: don’t dismiss DOGE, DeFi, or digital assets, but ensure the frameworks are right for their transformative potential.
