Picture this…
Trump, in a golden suit of armor, declaring the US the:
“Crypto capital of the planet”.
Okay, maybe not literally, but figuratively?
Oh, it’s happening.
If you’re a trader, investor, or someone who sold their Bitcoin for a pizza back in 2010. Well… here’s what’s going on.
Crypto friendly policies are sprouting up in Washington.
Source?
Believe me!
No.
I’m kidding.
Source?
The White House.
Trump just signed his first execute order related to cryptocurrencies:
And what does is say?
Crypto FREEDOM!
Ok, maybe they don’t literally say that, I’m paraphrasing.
So let me show you the original piece.
The meat of it all.
Here’s the original Executive Order from The White House website:
Here we’ve got the US flexing its digital muscles, saying:
“Hey, we’re the cool kids in the blockchain class.”
To make sure America stays ahead in the race for digital assets.
Perfect!
Basically they have set a Working Group tasked with figuring out the rules for digital currencies, stablecoins, and, wait for it… building a “strategic national digital asset stockpile”.
Yes, you read that right.
Strategic Bitcoin asset reserve.
That’s the first part.
Now here’s the second:
This is where the US doubles down on being the “blockchain leaders”.
They want to “promote leadership” in digital assets and financial tech while making sure we’re not just running wild with meme coins.
To put it simply:
Crypto friendly policies are being rolled out left and right.
- Executive orders to make crypto easier to work with.
- A team like the Avengers assembling from the Treasury, SEC, and CFTC to draw new (and better) rules for the industry.
- Scrapping strict SEC rules (SAB 121) which now allows banks to hold crypto.
That’s all?
Kinda, but not exactly.
We’ve got to mention Trump’s ego here!
Love him or hate him, the man knows how to command a market.
He’s already pulling a move straight out of his first term playbook:
Demanding lower interest rates faster than you can say “rate cuts”.
Full quote from Bloomberg:
“I think I know interest rates much better than they do, and I think I know it certainly much better than the one who’s primarily in charge of making that decision. If I disagree, I will let it be known.”
Now, Powell in his mind is already thinking about his reply at the next FOMC press conference where CERTAINLY there will be a few questions about that. Just a tiny few:
And I’m sure he’s already practicing his answer:
“The FED is politically independent, you can’t tell us what to do.”
But hey!
It’s Trump we are talking about:
If he wants lower rates, he will get it with different means.
Like lower energy prices (to lower inflation) with which he’s already making progress with since January 20.
Seriously.
Talk about getting things done!
He’s already making sure energy prices trend lower so headline inflation (and then core inflation) will get trimmed down by it over the next few months.
The White House isn’t just dabbling in Bitcoin, it’s gearing up to go full nut.
And NOT just in crypto, but in monetary policy too.
And either way…
When the president of the United States of America is fully onboard ready to embrace crypto, you should know what happens next.
Prices move.
Markets heat up.
And those who know about it early?
They get the best seat.
