Trump’s Crypto Agenda: What’s the Play?

Trump wants to:

1. Make crypto a "National Priority," easing regulations.

2. Turn $20B in confiscated Bitcoin into a strategic reserve.

3. End de-banking for crypto companies.

Why It Matters:

I think we might see a new narrative coming into play: “U.S.-based projects”.

Especially with Trump mentioning an America-first strategic reserve prioritizing coins like Solana, USD Coin, and Ripple, the spotlight is on U.S. crypto now.

Pro tip: Search teams and coins that backed Trump’s campaign, either directly or through indirect contributions.

Why Ethereum (ETH) is Lagging

ETH feels stuck. Here’s why:

1. It’s a late-cycle performer—always behind BTC until the rally matures.

2. High fees are driving users to competitors like Solana.

3. Regulatory uncertainty is scaring off big players.

But here’s the twist: Smart money is buying.

World Liberty Financial (a Trump-affiliated DeFi project) is snapping up millions in ETH. Whales are quietly accumulating, betting on ETH’s next surge.

Your Move:

• Don’t sleep on ETH. Diversify, but keep a position.

• Explore Layer 2s (Arbitrum, Optimism). They’re ETH’s beta plays.
