Will Trump Make a Pro-Crypto Move on Day 1? Community Awaits

The crypto industry is optimistic that the United States President-elect, Donald Trump, will issue pivotal executive orders regarding the industry upon taking office on January 20. According to sources cited by the New York Post, Trump is exploring the creation of an “America-first” digital asset reserve, emphasizing cryptocurrencies developed within the United States. The initiative aligns with previous discussions among Trump’s transition team about forming a strategic Bitcoin reserve. With his inauguration nearing, there is widespread speculation about the potential content of these executive orders and their implications for the crypto industry. America-First Reserve to Focus on U.S. Digital Assets Reports indicate that Trump and his team are drafting executive orders to promote cryptocurrencies. One major action under consideration is repealing the controversial crypto accounting rule, SAB 121. The proposed “America-first” reserve could also prioritize digital assets such as XRP, Solana, and the USDC stablecoin, which have strong U.S. connections. In light of this, during recent meetings at the Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump reportedly engaged with Ripple executives, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CLO Stuart Alderoty, signaling openness to their proposals. However, some have expressed concerns that Trump’s support for altcoins could overshadow efforts to enhance Bitcoin’s legitimacy and adoption. Crypto Community Awaits Regulatory Shift The crypto community views Trump’s inauguration as a potential turning point, following what they describe as years of regulatory hostility under the Biden administration. Measures such as “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” allegedly restricted banking access for crypto companies, stifling innovation and startups. According to a recent article published in the Washington Post , the incoming administration is expected to address these issues through executive orders. Proposed actions include establishing a Bitcoin reserve and ending practices that have excluded crypto firms from traditional banking services. The industry also anticipates significant regulatory changes with a reshaped SEC under the potential leadership of Paul Atkins. Meanwhile, Trump has appointed venture capitalist David Sacks as the first AI and crypto czar for the United States. In addition, a celebratory “Crypto Ball” is planned for Friday, ahead of Trump’s inauguration, underscoring the sector’s hopes for a more favorable regulatory environment.
