The Trump administration just dropped its 2026 Unified Regulatory Agenda, and the numbers are hard to ignore. The plan outlines 702 deregulatory actions across federal agencies, a sharp increase from the 482 actions listed in last year’s agenda. Projected regulatory cost savings for Fiscal Year 2026 clock in at $1.5 trillion, which makes the $211.8 billion saved in FY 2025 look like a rounding error.
Officials from the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, or OIRA, called this the “boldest deregulatory effort yet.” The stated goals are economic growth, job creation, and improved affordability across the US economy.
What’s actually being cut
The regulatory rollback spans multiple federal agencies, including the EPA, USDA, and the Commerce Department.
None of the 702 deregulatory actions appear to target cryptocurrency specifically. There are no new crypto-specific rules being introduced or repealed in this particular agenda release.
