Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen speaks crypto policy and regulation: Full insight
According to a press release, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jenet L. Yellen spoke on April 7 at American University's Kogod School of Business Center for Innovation about crypto policy, regulation, development, and innovation.
Remarks from Yellen
It is clear from the Treasury Secretary's statements that she shares some views similar to those of other regulators, such as the Chairman of SEC, Gary Gensler, who also recently commented on cryptocurrencies. Yellen, who had earlier called for quick action on stablecoins regulation in the U.S., which are already being regulated in the U.K., said that the "growth in digital services has opened a world of possibilities and risks that would have seemed fantastical only a few decades ago."Yellen spoke about the Executive Order on cryptocurrencies issued a few weeks ago, saying that "the administration will publish a report on the future of money and payments. The report will analyze possible design choices related to a potential CBDC and implications for payment systems, economic growth, financial stability, financial inclusion, and national security."
While speaking about CBDCs, she also stated that issuing CBDCs "will present a major design and engineering challenge that would take years of development, not months." Yellen also noted that Treasury has worked with the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, the FDIC, and the OCC to study dollar-pegged stablecoins, which are known to chase a single value throughout their existence.
"Stablecoins raise policy concerns, including illicit finance, user protection, and systemic risk. And they are currently subject to inconsistent and fragmented oversight" - Janet Yellen.
Responsible innovation and tech neutrality
Just like the chairman of SEC, Gary Gensler, Yellen also pointed out that a "technology-neutral" step is needed to regulate the crypto industry. Both want to protect investors' money by bringing fairness to the market and irradiating the crypto industry's frauds and money laundering attempts.According to Yellen, the principle of technology neutrality also applies to problems related to tax evasion, illicit financing, and national security issues that are particularly relevant in today's world. She stated the obvious, explaining that it is illegal to evade taxes, launder money, or evade sanctions. It does not matter if you use checks, wire transfers, or cryptocurrencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
