Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election has brought a major shift in the government’s stance on cryptocurrency. During his campaign, Trump promised to support the industry with pro-crypto policies. Now, speaking at the Future Investment Initiative Priority Summit in Miami, he announced that his administration has ended what he called the Biden administration’s “war” on crypto through executive orders.
What’s next?
One of the first actions taken by the new administration is the creation of a special cryptocurrency task force under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This group is expected to develop clearer regulations for the crypto industry, bringing long-awaited clarity for businesses and investors.
Crypto Reserve in the Making?
Speculation is growing that the government may be working on creating a national cryptocurrency reserve. While details are unclear, such a move would signal a major shift in how the U.S. handles digital assets.
Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to making the U.S. a global leader in crypto. His administration is pushing for policies that encourage growth in the industry, and recent actions suggest this goal is a priority.

Industry leaders are responding positively to the new administration. Binance CEO Richard Teng, speaking at the Consensus Crypto Conference, said the shift has given the crypto sector much-needed relief, calling it a “fresh restart.”
Trump has also placed crypto-friendly figures in top government positions. The latest is Howard Lutnick, who was recently appointed U.S. Commerce Secretary. This move strengthens the administration’s push for a more crypto-friendly environment.
With regulatory changes, industry-friendly leadership, and new policies, Trump’s administration is positioning the U.S. as a major player in the crypto space. Whether these efforts will lead to long-term success remains to be seen, but for now, the industry is watching closely – and reacting positively.
