President Trump’s strong backing of cryptocurrencies has fuelled a surge in major crypto deals, with firms capitalising on lighter U.S. regulations and rising mainstream interest. A crypto-supportive White House has driven deals like Twenty One Capital’s $3.6 billion SPAC merger, Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, and Kraken’s $1.5 billion purchase of NinjaTrader. Since early 2025, 88 deals worth $8.2 billion have been recorded, nearly triple 2024’s total, per Architect Partners. Trump’s crypto-friendly regulators, including SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, and his vision to make the U.S. a “bitcoin superpower” have revitalised the sector, boosting innovation and acquisitions after years of regulatory caution following the FTX collapse.
