As President Donald Trump wraps up the first 100 days of his second term in office, the message is clear: crypto isn’t just part of the conversation—it’s now a pillar of U.S.$USDP economic strategy. From executive orders to high-level appointments, Trump has used his early days to position the U.S. as a leader in digital asset policy. Here’s what’s happened—and why the crypto space should pay attention.

. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Becomes Reality

In a historic move, Trump launched the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, placing roughly 200,000 BTC$BTC under federal control. These assets, largely sourced from DOJ seizures, signal the federal government’s formal entry into digital asset reserves. The narrative? Bitcoin is no longer the enemy of the state—it’s an economic weapon.

This move has sparked global headlines and may influence how other governments approach crypto asset management in the months ahead.

2. Market Reaction: Optimism, Then Hesitation

Bitcoin surged past $109,000 $ETH

on Inauguration Day—but has since cooled, dipping around 10% by the 100-day mark. Traders are cautious. Why? The crypto industry was expecting quicker deregulation and faster policy clarity.

Still, the broader takeaway is clear: the Trump era has re-legitimized crypto at the federal level.

3. Pro-Crypto Appointments Signal Long-Term Play

Key regulatory appointments include Paul Atkins at the SEC and Brian Quintenz at the CFTC—both known for pro-market, crypto-aware views. Insiders believe these moves pave the way for more progressive treatment of DeFi, stablecoins, and crypto ETFs.

These choices matter. They’ll be shaping the regulatory outlook for years—just as institutional capital accelerates its entry into crypto.

4. Stablecoins: Trump’s Unexpected Ace

The surprise star of Trump’s first 100 days? Stablecoins. A private firm linked to Trump allies recently launched USD , a Treasury-backed stablecoin now being used in multi-billion-dollar deals—including an Abu Dhabi-backed investment in Binance.

The signal here is massive: stablecoins are the bridge between old finance and new finance, and Trump’s administration is fully embracing their role.

5. Global Perspective: Dubai, Binance & Beyond

While U.S. policy takes shape, Trump-era optimism has helped fuel global crypto energy. At TOKEN2049 in Dubai, firms like BlackRock, Binance, and Goldman Sachs leaned into the future of tokenization, AI in finance, and global stablecoin infrastructure.

Even as enthusiasm cools domestically, the world is watching—and adapting to Trump’s crypto agenda.

Closing Thoughts

Trump’s first 100 days have been more than just political theatre—they’ve marked a paradigm shift in how the U.S. views and manages crypto. From the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to stablecoin diplomacy, the message is clear: crypto is no longer fringe. It’s now federal.

What happens next will depend on how well these bold policies translate into market impact. But one thing is certain—the 2025 Trump administration is shaping crypto’s next chapter.
