How long can Trump’s influence on Bitcoin last?
Bitcoin has risen more than 40% since Trump won the election on November 7, hitting a record high. While some traders attribute this surge to the so-called Trump rally, a deeper analysis of the Trump administrations cryptocurrency policy framework and the composition of its executive team shows that this may be the most important institutional breakthrough in the history of the cryptocurrency market.
Decoding the Trump Administration’s Crypto Policy Promises
1. US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
The most groundbreaking policy commitment is the proposal to include Bitcoin in the national strategic reserve system. The United States currently holds about 207,000 Bitcoins, and the Bitcoin Act proposed by Senator Lummis requires that all Bitcoins held by federal agencies be transferred to the Treasury Department as strategic reserves. The bill also stipulates that the Treasury Department will purchase no more than 200,000 Bitcoins per year for 5 years, a total of 1 million Bitcoins, and hold them for at least 20 years. If the bill is passed, not only will the United States not sell the existing 207,000 Bitcoins, it will also create about $80 billion in buying pressure within 5 years.
2. White House Cryptocurrency Advisor Position
According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration plans to create the first White House cryptocurrency advisory position. The position will:
Manage interagency relations: Coordinate cryptocurrency policy between Congress, the White House, and other government agencies.
Oversee regulatory framework: responsible for jurisdictional and policy matters related to cryptocurrencies.
Direct connection to the industry: Following Trump’s meeting with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, the position will serve as an important link to the cryptocurrency industry.
The creation of this position marks a major shift in the approach to cryptocurrencies at the federal level.
3. Change of SEC Chairman
With Gary Gensler officially announcing his resignation next year, the appointment of the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicates that the regulatory direction will be more inclusive:
Accelerate crypto ETF approval: lower the threshold for institutional investment.
Clarify regulatory guidance: Shift from an enforcement orientation to a more transparent regulatory framework.
Improve market stability: Reduce market volatility caused by regulatory uncertainty through clear policies.
The new government’s position on crypto assets
An unprecedented number of senior officials in the new government hold large amounts of crypto assets and have deep industry experience. This alignment of interests could significantly affect the intensity and direction of policy implementation.
Key Cabinet Members and Their Cryptocurrency Involvement
Only halfway through the cycle
The convergence of policy support, institutional recognition, and market confidence suggests that the cryptocurrency market may have entered a new sustainable upcycle. Unlike previous rallies that were primarily driven by retail speculation, this growth is built on structural changes in regulation and institutional adoption.
It is worth noting that less than a month since Trump won the election, the price of Bitcoin has risen by more than 40%. This rapid rise reflects the markets optimistic expectations for the new governments pro-crypto stance and the expectation of major policy shifts that will benefit the cryptocurrency industry.
Furthermore, Bitcoins current price trajectory has exceeded the growth rate of the 2015-2018 market cycle. The current acceleration indicates that market momentum is stronger than in previous cycles, driven by institutional investment and supportive regulatory developments. Although some investors may worry about missing out, market analysts believe it is not too late to participate in this upward trend. Changes in policy fundamentals and institutional participation may support long-term growth and provide potential opportunities for new entrants.
in conclusion
The impact of the Trump bubble on Bitcoin is more than just a speculative bubble, but could be a fundamental turning point for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. The new administrations policies could legitimize crypto assets at the highest levels of government and finance, paving the way for unprecedented growth and integration into the global financial system.
