Since his return to the White House as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump has operated a strategic turn in favor of cryptocurrencies. Previously skeptical, his clear desire to make the world capital of Cryptos is shown again in a recent interview.
“I am in favor of cryptos. I want cryptocurrencies for the United States. If we don’t care about that, China will do it. Bitcoin is very recent, very popular and attracts attention. If you observe the markets when they have fallen, Bitcoin has remained much stronger than the other sectors.” Donald Trump told NBC
Since its inauguration, several strong signals have been sent to the market. The Trump administration has increased many regulatory uncertainties by signing an executive decree aimed at accelerating the integration of digital assets into the national financial system. He also announced a temporary moratorium on the prosecution of drying against cryptographic actors, the time to redefine a clearer framework and pro-initiation. In addition, a commission has been created between agencies dedicated to Blockchain, with the mission of promoting the appearance of web3 technological centers in the US territory.
These measures have been praised by several ecosystem leaders, who see it as a clear break with the most restrictive policies of the Biden era.
Trump explains that he doesn’t care about his own cryptocurrency
Paradoxically, the president seems little concerned about it for being his effigy, the $ Trump, launched by entities affiliated with the Trump organization. During the interview, he even seemed surprised to know the recent increase in this file, after the announcement of a gala dinner on May 22 reserved for the 220 largest headlines of the $ Trump. In fact, after this ad, the price of Token was within a few days of $ 8.16 at $ 15.59.
“I didn’t even know that I had increased, what level had increased? Tell me because I have no idea.” Ask Trump to the journalist
This distance shown by the president contrasts with the profits generated by them, which has brought more than $ 320 million in transaction costs since its launch. In addition, a fundraising for another night that took place this Monday: the “Crypto & AI innovative dinner”, collected considerable sums (with an entry ticket to 1.5 million dollars), aroused ethical concerns about possible confusion between personal interests and public functions.
