Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the White House is monitoring cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

"I know this is something that is being monitored by our team   here," Sanders said during a press conference on Thursday,   answering a reporter's question about whether the government   would regulate cryptocurrencies.     Sanders said she didn't have anything specific to share on the   matter. Still, it was brought up by an advisor to President Trump   recently.    "Tom Bossert, with the Homeland Security team, an advisor to the   president, has brought this up in a meeting earlier this week,"   she said."I know this is something he is keeping an eye on."     Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been on a   tear since the US Thanksgiving holiday. The coin is up 850%   year-to-date.     This appears to be the first time the White House has commented   on the cryptocurrency craze sweeping both Wall Street and Main   Street.
