🔥“Sell in May”? Not in Trump’s Crypto America
The old Wall Street mantra — “Sell in May and go away” — might have worked in TradFi, but in 2025, it’s missing the pulse of Bitcoin. According to K33 Research, this May could ignite a crypto surge instead of a seasonal slump, and the reason isn’t technical — it’s political.
Enter Donald Trump.
Yes, again.
As of May 7, the U.S. crypto narrative is being rewritten by executive action and policy deadlines. Two key catalysts are approaching fast:
1. Regulatory Deadline – U.S. federal agencies are running out of time. The White House-mandated timeline for crafting a comprehensive crypto framework — including the legal definition of stablecoins — is nearing its end. Markets hate uncertainty. Once guidelines are revealed, institutional players will know exactly how to move. Less regulatory fog = more liquidity.
2. Digital Reserves Directive – Federal bodies have also been ordered to evaluate the feasibility of building a “strategic national reserve of digital assets.” Yes, a crypto treasury. Think about what that implies: not just tolerance, but potential sovereign accumulation of BTC, ETH, and possibly strategic stablecoins. Whether symbolic or operational, this could fundamentally alter how the U.S. views digital assets.
And here’s the kicker: all of this is happening in the shadow of a pro-crypto president who’s running on “economic sovereignty,” sound money memes, and a full-scale rejection of central bank digital currencies.
Meanwhile, macro tailwinds — a declining dollar index, shifting ETF inflows, and China–U.S. trade tensions — only amplify the bullish narrative.
So, to the #AMAGE community, we ask:
Will this May flip the script on seasonal trends and mark the beginning of a new political era for Bitcoin? Or is the market still underestimating the chaos Trump can inject into the crypto equation?
