Trump stated in his appointment of David Sacks that Sacks will focus on establishing a legal framework that provides the clarity the cryptocurrency industry has long sought and allows it to thrive in the U.S. Analysis suggests that David Sacks is expected to help lead the effort to fulfill Trump's campaign promise to ease regulation on the cryptocurrency industry.

However, more and more cryptocurrency brokers (such as FalconX) and cryptocurrency trading firms (including GSR and B2C2) are getting involved in providing short-term financing to ensure that their clients' transactions can be settled immediately, generating huge returns in the process. Several cryptocurrency brokers are acting as shadow banks, providing short-term loans to make up for timing mismatches, charging annual interest rates as high as 25%.

stablecoin has been tapped as the initial default settlement currency for a new crypto trading platform called TrueX, which came out of stealth Wednesday. The exchange was founded by two former high-level Coinbase employees, former head of exchange Vishal Gupta and engineer Patrick McCreary.
The platform, built by parent company True Markets, will launch its trading functionality in the coming weeks, beginning with spot market trading for a few of the largest cryptocurrencies. These trades will be settled in PYUSD, the fourth largest stablecoin by market capitalization after Tether’s USDT, Circle’s USDC and MakerDAO’s DAI.
In time, however, the platform plans to expand its range of stablecoin settlement options. Additional trading services are also being planned, Gupta told Fortune.

While TrueX will be available in the United States, it will only be accessible to institutional investors. Unlike many crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has argued operate as unregistered brokers and custodians, TrueX is delegating its custodial needs to Paxos (the issuer of the PYUSD stablecoin).
True Markets closed a $9 million in seed round from investors including RRE Ventures, Reciprocal Ventures and Hack VC as well as Paxos, Solana Foundation and Aptos.
