Trump’s Pro-Crypto Pivot Sparks Industry Optimism
President Donald $TRUMP
Trump’s return to office has ushered in a significant shift in U.S. crypto policy, described as a “180 pivot” from the Biden era. In his first 100 days, Trump has proposed a strategic crypto reserve, potentially including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, though this idea faced skepticism over the risks of taxpayer-funded investments in volatile assets. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, led by interim chair Travis Hill, is also exposing alleged regulatory pressures from the prior administration that restricted banks’ crypto engagements, dubbed “Choke Point 2.0.” This pro-crypto stance has fueled optimism, with global venture capital investments in crypto firms hitting $5.4 billion in Q1 2025, the highest since mid-2022.
