What to Expect for Crypto Market
Donald Trump, during his rallies, expressed commitment to draft crypto-friendly regulations. One of his moves that made rounds was the nomination of Paul Atkins as the next SEC Chair. Now it is expected that Donald Trump may create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve which would be a huge boost to BTC and other cryptocurrencies.
Michael Saylor, the Founder of MicroStrategy, published an X post saying that the next day will be different. He also shared an image with Vivek Ramaswamy with a caption saying that the future is bright, hinting that the Trump Administration is certain to bring positive changes in the crypto market.
Dennis Porter, the CEO of Satoshi Act Fund, has emphasized the need to have a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, adding that it is needed more than the Federal Government to signal that the coming government should prioritize that because it has the capability of doing so.
Bitcoin has breached the crucial milestone of $107k and is likely to sustain the momentum considering the rally commenced just before Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a heavy inflow of $975.6 million last Friday, making it the third consecutive day of inflow. This could keep up if Trump does sign key executive orders. One major expectation is making cryptocurrency a national priority.
A lot will depend on how inflation numbers show up following the implementation of tariff policies, wherein Trump is determined to increase tariffs for many nations. However, crypto-friendly regulations and frameworks could balance the overall impact.
10x Research, through an X post, has underlined that the TRUMP token is majorly a fan token for holders to celebrate his victory. What could keep it going is a set of potential utility, airdrop perks, and other gated benefits which will be sent directly to the wallet of a holder.
