The Future of Crypto Policies Under President Trump's Administration
Sunday. January 19 at 10:00 PM
1 min. readUS President-elect Trump is set to take office on Jan. 20, sparking anticipation among crypto industry leaders for favorable pro-crypto policies. However, the longevity of these policies beyond his term hinges on the political landscape in Washington, DC. Adam O’Brien, CEO of Bitcoin Well, believes that Trump's pro-crypto stance could endure if Vice President JD Vance succeeds him in 2029. Conversely, a Democratic takeover of Congress and the presidency could jeopardize these policies, especially those established through executive orders. With Republicans holding a slim majority in the House of Representatives, the upcoming 2026 midterm elections could potentially shift the balance of power. Despite calls for bipartisan cooperation on crypto regulations, the future of crypto policies remains uncertain under the Trump administration. Industry experts suggest that political representatives are increasingly inclined to support the crypto sector following the 2024 elections, driven by industry advocacy efforts.
