In October 2025, the conversation about government efficiency is taking on a new twist as the U.S. embarks on a dramatic shift in its stance on digital assets and blockchain innovation—raising a compelling question: Are we “DOGE-ing” it wrong, or finally getting it right?

With President Trump’s administration pivoting sharply to pro-crypto policies since January 2025, officials are touting a “light-touch” regulatory approach designed to foster growth while avoiding the heavy-handed rules that previously stifled Web3 development. This shift is highlighted by major milestones like the passage of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act, or GENIUS Act, in July. This new law provides a clear federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, mandating full asset backing and subjecting issuers to robust oversight, which many say gives crypto enterprises the clarity and confidence needed to compete globally. At the same time, the outright ban on a retail Central Bank Digital Currency signals that the government wants to encourage private innovation, not top-down digital money.

Regulators have rapidly moved to streamline processes, such as the SEC’s approval of generic listing standards for exchange-traded products holding spot digital assets and the rescission of rules that once hampered banks from providing crypto custody. According to coverage from Breaking Crypto and major finance news outlets, these actions have already unleashed a substantial influx of capital into the crypto space, with institutional Bitcoin holdings hitting record highs. The digital asset custody market is projected to surpass $4 trillion by the next decade, fueled in part by large banks like Citi and JPMorgan embracing digital asset trading and custody. Bitcoin’s legitimacy is now backed not just by retail enthusiasm but by a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, signaling a long-term shift from speculation to strategic allocation across the financial sector.

Yet as old jokes about “DOGE-ing” (or avoiding difficult decisions) suggest, there’s still a debate about whether the path to efficiency is best served by bold innovation or deliberate caution. On one hand, the U.S. risks centralizing too much control with big financial players, potentially compromising the decentralized ethos that made crypto famous. On the other, the pragmatic embrace of digital assets is already enhancing payment efficiency, increasing transparency, and opening doors for future public-private partnerships.

Listeners, the current experiment in “DOGE-ing” government efficiency is still in progress—but the stakes, and the opportunities, have never been clearer.
