Analysis: Presidential Impact on Digital Finance Evolution in Cryptocurrency
Crypto's New Buddy: President Trump
Embrace the digital revolution as Trump takes the crypto world by storm!
In a shocking turn of events, it appears that President Trump has become a crypto enthusiast. Here's the scoop:
Trump Goes All In On Crypto
While the world is busy asking who upset the President, let's talk about Trump's crypto game. With his signature move, Trump has been overhauling the U.S. anti-crypto policies. It seems like Biden and his crew are long gone, and in their place is a man ready to shake up the crypto scene.
Trump has been busy pardoning everyone but one notorious figure - SBF. The BitMEX co-founders, Arthur Hayes, Samuel Reed, and Benjamin Delo, have all been granted full pardons by the President. The argument is that Trump is looking to venture into the crypto market, and these business partners can help him scale new heights.
Can you smell the money? Well, it's crystal clear that the crypto world is now ripe for another bubble.
The Fascist Playbook
Remember, not all fascist regimes are violent. Take a look at Norway – they managed to avoid a full-blown takeover even if they resembled 1930s fascism in some ways. The President's efforts to align state interests with private businesses could easily resonate with fascist tendencies. Still, Norway seems to have steered clear of this path, opting for cold hard cash instead.
A Deal Too Good to Refuse
It's no secret that President Trump loves a good deal, and the BitMEX co-founders got one hell of a deal. With the pardons under their belt, these individuals are now ready to further boost Trump's crypto ambitions. Who wouldn't take the same offer?
So, what does this mean for SBF? Jim Cramer thinks SBF might be the next crypto felon to get a tap, but we aren't so sure. SBF seems like small change compared to the potential objectives at play here.
The Rise of Stablecoins
If you think crypto will never be money, think again. Stablecoins are the future of currency, and most are U.S. dollar backed. The use of these digital coins is skyrocketing, and in 2024, stablecoin transfer volume surpassed Visa and Mastercard transactions combined!
Trump & Co. are eager to jump on the stablecoin bandwagon. World Liberty Financial (WLF) is working on its own stablecoin, and the Democratic party is furious about it. They argue that WLF's stablecoin poses unparalleled risks to the U.S. financial system. Don't believe them!
A Global Push
WLF isn't the only U.S. entity aiming for crypto dominance. Crypto.com is also planning to collaborate with the Trump administration on investment products that could look like ETFs. These products aren't limited to the U.S. market; they have the potential to reach worldwide.
And guess what? The SEC just dropped its investigation into Crypto.com, so watch out for the future of these investments!
What's Trump Building Now?
The Trump administration's shift in crypto policy is a good sign, but what exactly are they cooking up? Trump clearly wants a piece of the crypto pie and is setting the stage for a massive move into new crypto products.
Trump sees stablecoins as a way to shore up demand for the U.S. dollar and finance the next generation of government borrowing. With global access to the USD market, the potential market size is enormous.
Just beware! The downside is that all stablecoin transactions are recorded on a blockchain, leading to complete data oversight. If Trump aims to make big money on the shift to blockchain-based assets, there's a significant security component to consider.
Trump is all about money and power – the perfect combination for a successful crypto venture!
