Crypto traders pin hopes on Trump
The cryptocurrency industry is urging President-elect Donald Trump’s team to initiate his promised crypto policy overhaul through executive orders once he takes office later this month, with the goal of helping push tokens into the mainstream.
Trump plans to issue a series of executive orders on issues ranging from immigration to energy on his first day in office, Janauary 20, according to Reuters.
During his campaign, Trump embraced the crypto community, promising to be a “crypto president.” The industry hopes he will follow through by issuing orders to create a Bitcoin stockpile, ensure access to banking services, and establish a crypto council.
Industry officials are pushing for these executive orders within Trump’s first 100 days in office, with expectations that at least one could be signed on January 20.
