U.S. President Donald Trump criticized the traditional financial system as slow and outdated, arguing that cryptocurrencies offer a faster and more efficient alternative.
Speaking on the future of money and technology, Trump said blockchain-based systems could modernize payments, reduce friction, and challenge legacy financial infrastructure that relies on intermediaries and delayed settlements.
His remarks signal a notable shift in tone toward crypto, framing digital assets as a potential solution to long-standing inefficiencies in global finance rather than a threat to it.
