Trump's Crypto Policy: A New Era for Digital Currency?
Trump’s Crypto Vision
The cryptocurrency sector is urging President-elect Donald Trump to initiate a comprehensive policy overhaul through executive orders upon taking office. Expected on January 20, these directives aim to push cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance.
Executive Orders and Strategic Moves
Trump’s campaign promises included becoming a "crypto president," and the industry is keen on seeing executive orders that facilitate a bitcoin stockpile and ensure crypto firms have access to banking services. Key players expect at least one such order within Trump's initial 100 days, setting a clear roadmap for his administration's crypto priorities.
Reversing Biden's Crypto Policies
Under President Joe Biden, regulators imposed stringent measures on crypto companies, citing crime and volatility concerns. Trump's administration plans to reverse these policies, promoting American leadership in the digital currency space. His team, including crypto advocate Paul Atkins and David Sacks, is already preparing for this shift.
Bitcoin as a Strategic Asset
Bitcoin recently reached unprecedented highs before dipping. Trump's proposal for a strategic bitcoin reserve, potentially through the Treasury Department, remains contentious, with divided opinions on its feasibility without Congressional action. The Bitcoin Policy Institute has even drafted a potential executive order for this purpose, highlighting the urgency for the U.S. to secure bitcoin reserves ahead of global competitors.
Addressing Banking Challenges
Trump has vowed not to allow banks to marginalize crypto firms, potentially addressing this through executive orders. Despite regulatory scrutiny, banks are legally free to engage with compliant crypto companies. However, any executive order targeting bank regulators lacks legal authority, given the independence of federal bank regulators.
Establishing a Crypto Council
Trump's plans also include forming a crypto industry council, drawing from previous administrations’ use of executive orders to create specialized councils. This move could provide a structured platform for addressing industry-specific challenges.
Future Regulatory Landscape
Trump might issue an executive order outlining core principles for crypto regulation, similar to his 2017 order on banking rules. Such a directive could prompt agencies to reassess existing regulations, aligning them with the evolving needs of the cryptocurrency industry.
