During his second term, President Donald Trump has actively pursued a "pro-crypto" agenda aimed at making the United States the "crypto capital of the planet". As of February 2026, his administration has moved from campaign rhetoric to concrete regulatory rollbacks and the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Policy and Regulatory Actions
The Trump administration has implemented several structural changes to favor the digital asset industry:
Executive Orders: On January 23, 2025, Trump signed an order to support digital asset growth and establish a Presidential Digital Asset Market Working Group.
Strategic Reserves: In March 2025, an executive order established the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, primarily funded by assets seized during law enforcement actions.
Key Appointments: Pro-crypto officials were installed in major roles, including Paul S. Atkins as SEC Chair and David Sacks as the White House "crypto czar".
Legislative Wins: The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, created the first federal regulatory framework for U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins.
Personal and Family Ventures
Trump's pro-crypto stance is uniquely integrated with his private business interests, leading to significant ethical scrutiny:
World Liberty Financial (WLF): A DeFi protocol co-founded by the Trump family. In January 2026, WLF signed a strategic deal with Pakistan to integrate its USD1 stablecoin into the country's digital payment architecture.
Profiteering Reports: Recent investigations suggest Trump and his family have amassed over $4 billion in net worth through crypto-related ventures and "meme coins" like $TRUMP, which peaked shortly before his inauguration.
Controversies: In early 2026, reports surfaced of a secret $500 million investment in WLF by a high-ranking UAE royal, coinciding with the administration's approval of advanced AI chip transfers to the UAE.
Market Performance in 2026
Despite the pro-regulatory environment, the cryptocurrency market has faced a significant downturn in early 2026:
Price Correction: By February 3, 2026, Bitcoin fell below $74,000, erasing many of the gains seen since the 2024 election.
Regulatory Focus: Ongoing Senate hearings in January 2026 on the Market Structure Bill (or Clarity Act) aim to further define SEC and CFTC jurisdictions to stabilize the market.
