Moreover, President Trump during his campaign promised to prioritize the US digital-asset sector, including a strategic Bitcoin stockpile and pro-crypto regulatory appointments—have invigorated the industry.
Cryptocurrency supporters contributed over $100 million to back crypto-friendly candidates, hoping to see swift regulatory advances.
The President-elect’s broader agenda of tax cuts, reduced regulatory barriers, and growth-focused economic reforms has also spurred gains across stocks, credit, and crypto markets.
The S&P 500 reached its 50th record high of the year last week, reflecting the market’s buoyant response to Trump’s pro-business policies.
As Trump’s transition team begins, traders remain optimistic, pushing aside concerns about the feasibility or timeline for implementing his crypto-related pledges.
For now, the market’s bullish sentiment underscores the digital-asset industry’s confidence in a pro-crypto White House.
