Before this long awaited document was released, many economic analyst has predicted a crackdown on the crpto industry. In fact celebrated economist, Matin Wolf advised the US government to make cryptocurrencies illegal.
But rather than banning cypto Joe Biden administration gave it some real recognition that is worth celebrating. Instead of becoming a problem to Bitcoin, Joe Biden became a solution, as he has ordered federal agencies to dig into many of the problems that crypto created as it became more mainstream, including its role in money laundering and terrorist groups.
This executive order signals that at the very least, Biden thinks crypto is a serious and important part of the US economy that have some potential. Hence, he mandated the US financial regulators to update and expand their scope to address cryptocurrency by studying crypto.
White House now understands that for them to still occupy the number position economically, the US need to have a competitive edge over other countries when it comes to crypto development. Also, US believe that cryptocurrencies could be a very vital tool to gain economic advantage over China
I guess Bitcoin’s price surged on President Joe Biden’s executive order.

It doesn't tell or decide anything! I am happy that US government has finally decided to take the crypto money laundering seriously because it is a real threat to the society. With the emergence of privacy focused cryptos, it has become very difficult to catch the financial criminals. The whole NFT market is dominating the laundering market. The faster Biden government understand that, the better!
Crypto will eventually be recognized by all countries. It will take time and it will surely happen! Regulation is inevitable! If we all want cryptos to become mainstream, regulation will be the only way it can happen!
