Executive Action

Definition

Executive action refers to directives issued by the head of government to manage the operations of the executive branch. These actions carry the force of law but do not require congressional approval, allowing for swift implementation of policy. In the context of digital assets, executive actions often address regulatory frameworks, national security implications of cryptocurrencies, or directives for federal agencies to research and develop related technologies. They can significantly influence market sentiment and operational parameters for businesses operating in the crypto space. Such directives serve as a powerful tool for shaping governmental approaches to emerging technologies.
