Trump’s First 100 Days: Crypto in Waiting

In Donald Trump’s first 100 days as U.S. President, cryptocurrency remained largely in a gray zone. While Trump focused on deregulation and economic nationalism, his administration made no direct moves on crypto policy. However, key regulatory bodies like the SEC and CFTC began signaling closer scrutiny, especially toward initial coin offerings (ICOs).

Trump’s push for deregulation raised hopes among some crypto advocates, but concerns about anti-money laundering enforcement kept the industry cautious. Meanwhile, other countries like Japan and Switzerland moved faster to embrace blockchain innovation, leaving the U.S. lagging in regulatory clarity.

Despite the silence from Washington, Bitcoin's price doubled during this period, driven by global interest and market forces rather than U.S. policy. Trump's early days set the tone: no outright hostility toward crypto, but growing regulatory tension in the background.
