The US Crypto Shift: Bitcoin, Stablecoins, Energy & DC’s New Playbook
In this episode, Jeremy Almond and Megan Guy sit down with Andrew Johnson, a leading crypto policy strategist from Center Point 360, to explore how Washington is shifting its stance on digital assets and what it means for innovation in the US.
From DOJ memos to state-level Bitcoin reserves, Andrew unpacks the evolving regulatory landscape that’s turning crypto from a fringe movement into a bipartisan agenda. They cover stablecoins, energy policy, and how nuclear, AI, and Bitcoin are converging to shape economic power.
This isn’t regulatory fluff. It’s an insider view of how government, tech, and money are colliding to rewrite the future of American finance.
