The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) said in its 2025 Annual Report, approved Dec. 11, 2025, that the digital asset sector plays an important role in U.S. innovation and economic development. FSOC said a primary policy objective is to facilitate the responsible growth and use of digital assets and blockchain technology.
FSOC defines a digital asset as a digital representation of value recorded on a distributed ledger and reports that public blockchain data showed 3.8 billion successful monthly transactions in early 2025, a 96% year-over-year increase. It also highlights efforts to enhance regulatory clarity, including the SEC’s Project Crypto Initiative and the CFTC’s Crypto Sprint Initiative, and notes Congress is considering market-structure legislation. On tokenization, the report says tokenized securities are subject to applicable securities laws, and any offer or sale must either be registered or qualify for a legal exemption.
Next, stakeholders will watch how these initiatives are implemented, including the GENIUS Act, enacted July 18, 2025 to establish a federal prudential framework for certain payment stablecoin issuers. FSOC also flags ongoing monitoring of benefits and risks, including illicit finance misuse, which it describes as a smaller share of overall on-chain transaction volume.
