The post How Donald Trump’s Presidential Win Could Transform Crypto Regulations in The US appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
It was in 2016 that Donald Trump became the president of the United States of America for the first time. At that time, the cryptocurrency industry was in its nascent stage. In the previous election, he was defeated by Joe Biden. During the Biden administration, the crypto industry suffered a lot, especially in the form of regulatory crackdowns.
At the beginning of the 2024 presidential campaign, not many crypto enthusiasts expected Trump to portray himself as a savior of the crypto market, as he was then known for his anti-crypto views. However, It took no time for crypto lovers to change their views about Trump, as he openly expressed his support for the industry and promised to revise the crypto regulatory framework in favor of the sector.
At this moment, when Trump has almost confirmed his victory, the crypto sector has gained fresh impetus.
In Trump’s first public appearance after the initial result, he says: “We are going to help our country heal.” Could the Trump administration mend the wounds created by the Biden administration on the crypto industry?
