Trump boosts cryptocurrencies: Are we entering the 'golden age' of digital assets?
1. The Department of Justice relaxes crypto regulations.
In a surprising move, the Trump administration has dissolved the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team of the Department of Justice. Now, the priority will be to pursue specific criminal activities that use digital assets, rather than focusing on crypto platforms.
2. Creation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, positioning the U.S. as a leader in the crypto space and strengthening its role in the global digital economy.
3. Impact on the Bitcoin market.
Despite these pro-crypto initiatives, the market has shown volatility. Following the announcement of new tariffs by Trump, Bitcoin experienced a 12% drop, reflecting the market's sensitivity to economic policies.
4. Towards a 'golden age' of digital assets?
Bo Hines, executive director of the White House Digital Assets Advisory Council, claims that we are entering a "golden age" for cryptocurrencies, with the U.S. leading the way.
5. Conclusion: Opportunities and challenges.
The actions of the Trump administration present both opportunities and challenges for the crypto ecosystem. While deregulation may foster innovation, it is also essential to monitor how these policies affect market stability and security.
