Recently, two major events have garnered attention in the crypto circle: White House crypto advisor Bo Hines announced his resignation, and the Trump family-supported World Liberty Finance Plan officially established a crypto asset management company. The combination of policy trends and capital power may release new signals for the market.
1. White House crypto advisor resignation: Is policy execution undergoing adjustments?
On August 9, Bo Hines, who was responsible for the White House's crypto policy formulation, announced his resignation, stating he would 'return to his department'. As a significant promoter of the Trump administration in the crypto field, his departure has led to many speculations about the future direction of U.S. policy.
During Hines' tenure, he promoted new regulations for the SEC regarding digital assets and actively advocated for 'market-driven crypto legislation'. Although the specific reasons for his departure are unclear, the market generally believes it is closely related to adjustments in policy execution, especially in light of the recent introduction of the (Crypto Industry Framework) by the Trump administration. Additionally, the White House previously restricted traditional banks from participating in Bitcoin ETFs, indicating that policymakers are facing dual pressures from financial regulation and the crypto market.
2. Trump family's involvement: Highlights of the crypto vault company
In contrast to Hines' departure, the World Liberty Finance Plan (WLF), supported by the Trump family, is preparing to establish a cryptocurrency vault company. This DeFi platform was co-founded by Trump and his three children, gaining significant attention since its launch in 2024.
WLF's core assets include governance token WLFI and stablecoin USD1. The total issuance of WLFI reaches 100 billion, and the USD1 stablecoin aims to consolidate the dollar's dominant position in the global crypto market. Data shows that WLF's token issuance revenue exceeded $57 million in 2024, becoming an important source of income for the Trump family.
More notably, Trump serves as the 'Chief Cryptocurrency Builder', while his children serve as platform ambassadors and 'DeFi strategists'. Although daily operations are managed by a professional team, the Trump family is deeply involved in project profit sharing through token distribution and earnings participation.
3. Market response: Dual signals from policy and capital release
Hines' departure and the establishment of WLF appear to be independent events, but they jointly reflect the U.S.'s complex and multifaceted attitude towards the crypto industry.
On one hand, Hines' exit may suggest a policy adjustment at the government level, but the Trump administration has clearly supported industry innovation through the (Crypto Industry Framework Bill), indicating that overall policy is stabilizing. On the other hand, WLF's actions show that the Trump family is converting political resources into business capital, attracting traditional investors through crypto vaults and enhancing the dollar's influence in the crypto market.
For the market, these two major events may bring the following impacts:
Policy expectations stabilize: Despite Hines' exit, the policy framework has begun to take shape, and the market does not need to panic excessively.
Accelerating capital inflow: WLF's USD1 stablecoin is rapidly developing, potentially attracting more traditional funds into the crypto space through compliant channels.
4. Retail investor response strategies
Currently, the crypto market is in a phase of intertwined policy adjustments and capital influx, and retail investors should focus on:
Policy dynamics: Closely monitor the SEC's regulatory changes regarding crypto assets, especially stablecoins and DeFi projects.
Project essence: Rationally discern politically-backed projects like WLF, avoid blindly following, and focus on their actual operations and compliance capabilities.
Summary
The changes in the White House's crypto advisory and the Trump family's layout in the crypto field depict a new landscape for the U.S. crypto market. Driven by both policy support and capital involvement, the market hides more opportunities, but regulatory risks and speculative behaviors still need to be watched. Rational investment is essential to seize the initiative in this wave of transformation.#特朗普加密新政 #美联储比特币储备
