Donald Trump is Walking the Talk
Prior to his election victory, Trump formed a pro-crypto transition committee. Tether advocate Howard Lutnick, the co-chair of the committee, will serve as Commerce Sec in the Donald Trump administration.
Most of the appointments from the Trump-Vance duo have largely leaned toward crypto. While the successor to Gary Gensler is yet to be announced, the general expectation is that the US SEC will get a pro-crypto Chairman this time.
President Donald Trump has walked the talk thus far. In line with this, many in the crypto community are also hopeful that the US President-elect would create the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which is one of the major highlights of his campaign promises to the community.
