Trump Set to Overhaul U.S. Crypto Policies on Day One

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to prioritize cryptocurrency reform immediately after taking office, with executive orders targeting regulatory hurdles and boosting innovation.

According to The Washington Post, his team has worked closely with crypto leaders to draft policies addressing de-banking and reversing rules requiring banks to classify digital assets as liabilities.

A major proposal includes creating a national Bitcoin reserve, with plans for a $21 billion investment to establish Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Pro-crypto appointees like incoming SEC Chair Paul Atkins are expected to further support the industry, signaling a shift toward more collaborative and innovation-friendly regulation.

The move comes as Trump’s administration seeks to position the U.S. as a leader in the global digital economy. Analysts believe these changes could unlock significant growth potential by providing regulatory clarity and fostering stronger ties between government agencies and private-sector innovators. With cryptocurrency adoption rising globally, Trump’s policies could help solidify the U.S. as a central hub for blockchain and digital asset development.
