Trump’s Crypto Push
Donald Trump‘s second term at the White House has brought a series of changes to the Trump administration. The republican party has now positioned its affiliations and promised the people to support the rise of the crypto industry in the United States.
In March 2025, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile” in efforts to make the US the leader among other nations in the digital asset strategy.
Trump also promised the people of the nation and market investors that he seeks to make the US the “crypto capital of the world,” embracing the need for digital assets to drive economic growth and technological leadership.
“I am very positive and open-minded to cryptocurrency companies, and all things related to this new and burgeoning industry. Our country must be the leader in the field,” said Trump in a White House fact sheet.
Trump also launched his official cryptocurrency, “$TRUMP,” on 18 January 2025, right before he was appointed the 47th President of the United States of America on 20 January 2025.
According to Mint’s earlier report, the Trump meme coin gained more than 230 per cent in 24 hours as the M-Cap crossed the $14.3 billion mark a day ahead of the inauguration ceremony.
Supporting the crypto initiatives, Donald Trump launched the $TRUMP meme coin to mark the celebrations of his White House comeback.
