This Week on ENDEVR:

Donald Trump has been inaugurated. The financial world is speculating on how his policies might shape the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Today, we’ll explore the implications of Trump's crypto promises; and what they could mean for the United States and the world of finance as we know it.

We’ll cover Trumps crypto focused intentions, including:

President Trump's second term in office is set to begin. There is an undeniable bullish sentiment felt reverberating through the market. Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders; from border policy to domestic oil drilling and beyond. Trump has a clear goal. To restore confidence in the American government and economy. Bitcoin, and crypto as a whole fit perfectly into Trumps plan. Trump pledged to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world”, and by making promises of implementing rational regulatory laws, and potential tax incentives for crypto holders Day One, it makes sense that people are excited. Let's figure out what this means; and how President Trump plans to position the United States at the forefront of the crypto and blockchain industry.

Bitcoin

Strategic Reserve

A pillar of Trump's crypto-focused plan is a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Valued at around $13 billion, the United States is currently among the largest holders of bitcoin. The problem? The current administration has no issue selling. Trump believes it’s important the United States hold onto its bitcoin. He said “For too long, our government has violated a cardinal rule that every Bit-coiner knows by heart: never sell your Bitcoin,” noting “If I am elected, it will be the policy of my administration for the United States of America to keep 100% of all the Bitcoin the U.S. government currently holds or acquires.” So its no secret Trump supports the expansion of crypto in the United States. That should be refreshing to investors, as well as exciting. Trump continues to provide views that differ greatly to major world leaders we've seen in the past. In the end trump plans to “end the war on crypto”. With Trumps administration presenting such a strong positive position on crypto, and with his sights set on allowing the United States to remain a dominant bitcoin holder, and potentially become the largest bitcoin holder in the world; Trump's administration could potentially create a landmark in financial policy by setting a precedent for other nations as well as companies to follow with their own Bitcoin reserves. In turn Encouraging global adoption and legitimizing cryptocurrencies on an international scale.

Long-Term Strategy

More Bitcoin

Trump has plans to acquire more Bitcoin. Aside from buying it outright, the Trump administration has two main avenues open. The first and most reliable method, making up most of the 13 billion currently held by the United States, has been seized in relation to criminal activities. The second option? Mining. Fitting with Trump’s plans to bring industry back to the United States, his ambitions to lead the United States to the top of the crypto industry look no different. Trump is looking to make the United States a leader in Bitcoin mining production. Promising to provide the lowest cost of energy and electricity in the world, Trump aims to make America “the worlds undisputed mining powerhouse” In turn, keeping growth domestic and actively growing and supporting the expansion of the blockchain industry within the United States borders.

Legislative Support

Trump’s Crypto Cabinet

Donald Trump's administration has been rounded out with several members that signal a positive stance on crypto.

  • J.D. Vance, the Vice President, has embraced cryptocurrencies, accepting them for campaign donations and advocating for their economic potential.

  • Paul Atkins, nominated for SEC Chair, has a background in advising crypto clients and pushing for lighter regulations on digital assets.

  • Scott Bessent, potential Treasury Secretary, sees crypto as a symbol of freedom and has invested in the sector. David Sacks, appointed as AI and Crypto Czar, has a track record of investing in blockchain projects like Solana.

  • Howard Lutnick, slated for Commerce Secretary, leads Cantor Fitzgerald, which manages assets for Tether, showing support for stable coins.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated for Health and Human Services, holds a significant portion of his wealth in Bitcoin, advocating for it as a tool against inflation.

    These appointments suggest a policy direction that we believe will foster a more crypto-friendly environment in the United States. Helping propel the positive push needed if we wish to see the integration of digital assets in everyday life.
