On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order positioning the United States as the undisputed leader in the crypto-asset ecosystem, marking a milestone in the evolution of blockchain technology globally. This executive order, which establishes a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and a Digital Asset Reserve, not only fulfills a campaign promise to make the United States the "cryptocurrency capital of the world," but also opens up transformative opportunities for the Tokenization of Financial Assets through the issuance of Regulated Security Tokens. 

In this article, we will explore the details of the order, its global impact, and how Expedit potential clients in Latin America can capitalize on this new phase to finance real estate and green energy projects through SEC Regulated Security Tokens, with concrete examples that illustrate its potential. 

Context of the Executive Order: From doubt to vanguard during his first term (2017-2021), Trump was critical of cryptocurrencies, calling them in 2019 "based on nothing" and linking them to illicit activities. However, his re-election in November 2024, backed by more than US$100 million in crypto industry donations, reflected a dramatic shift. The March 6, 2025, executive order includes:

- Bitcoin Strategic Reserve: prohibits the sale of the 200,000 bitcoins confiscated by the government, valued at about US$17.5 billion as of March 18, 2025, deeming them a "permanent store of value."

- Digital Asset Reserve: will manage other crypto-assets such as Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, diversifying federal holdings.

- Regulatory Framework: Directs the SEC and other agencies to foster innovation in blockchain, with an emphasis on asset tokenization, under the oversight of Paul Atkins, new SEC chairman, and David Sacks, White House "crypto Zar."

- Volatility Response: comes on the heels of a Bitcoin drop from US$109,000 in December 2024 to US$92,460 in February 2025, seeking to stabilize the market.

This shift responds to a strategy to maintain U.S. economic competitiveness against powers such as China (which bans crypto-assets) and the European Union (with its MiCA regulation).

- Global Impact: Redefining Finance The executive order transcends U.S. borders, reshaping the global financial landscape.

- Institutional Adoption: Banks such as JPMorgan could integrate cryptoassets into their portfolios, attracted by government legitimacy.

- Currency Competition: If countries such as Brazil or Japan create similar reserves, traditional currencies and gold could lose weight to cryptoassets.

- Tokenization Boost: The SEC's endorsement of tokenization could accelerate the conversion of real assets (property, bonds, energy projects) into tradable digital tokens.

However, there are risks. The concentration of cryptoassets in government hands could raise concerns about price manipulation, and the lack of detailed legislation from Congress could create uncertainty in the short term.

Tokenization in LatAm: A Financial Revolution

In Latin America, where more than 50% of SMEs face barriers to obtaining credit (according to the IDB), tokenization offers a disruptive solution. Trump's order strengthens this potential by:

- Increasing Confidence: SEC regulation attracts international investors to tokenized projects.

- Leverage Existing Infrastructure: Platforms such as Solana and Ripple, included in the strategic reserve, already operate in LatAm with fast and inexpensive transactions.

- Combating Devaluation: In countries such as Argentina (100% inflation in 2024) or Venezuela, security tokens backed by real-world assets - RWA preserve value against weak local currencies.

LatAm's real estate and renewable energy market, which requires hundreds of billions of dollars annually (IRENA estimates US$150 billion for energy transition), could benefit enormously.
