As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience navigating financial markets, I find myself intrigued by the potential impact Trump’s presidency could have on the crypto landscape. My journey through the 2008 financial crisis and witnessing the transformation under Reagan’s administration in the ’80s has given me a unique perspective on how deregulation can drive growth.


Just last week, the pro-cryptocurrency Republican candidate, Donald Trump, emerged victorious in the U.S. election. This victory opens up a path for him to deliver on numerous pledges, which have the potential to significantly increase cryptocurrency usage within the nation.

After Donald Trump’s electoral win, as a crypto investor, I find Cathie Wood’s recent statement particularly insightful. In a video she shared, the CEO and founder of Ark Invest expressed that the investment landscape now seems clearer. She elaborated on various financial events happening within the administration that could unfold in the coming days.

A Change in Guard at the SEC

During the entire video, Wood discusses how Trump’s government’s efforts to reshape the economic terrain mirror Ronald Reagan’s administration’s strategies from the 1980s. In a subsequent tweet, she summarized these comparisons as follows:

Loosening regulations (weakening the roles of entities like the SEC, FTC, etc.), reducing government expenditures (allowing more space for private businesses), lower taxes, and an emphasis on technological advancement could potentially boost the U.S. economy even more vigorously than during the Reagan Era, with technological innovation serving as a key driving force.

During Joe Biden’s leadership, Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has maintained a tough stance on cryptocurrency adoption. The CEO of Ark Invest believes that this policy has driven skilled professionals away from the U.S. to other countries. However, she remains hopeful that change is coming as it’s rumored that Trump may appoint a pro-crypto chair to replace Gensler in the near future.

Cathie Wood emphasized additional aspects that suggest the new government aims to enhance the nation’s fiscal setting. These areas span topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), tax reductions, healthcare, and various technological advancements.

How Trump’s Administration Will Affect Bitcoin

Throughout the majority of his election campaign, Donald Trump presented himself as a political supporter of Bitcoin. This support was evident in numerous statements concerning Bitcoin, one notable example being his proposal to amass a national stockpile of Bitcoin.

Winning the election propelled a substantial increase in the value of the top crypto asset, reaching several new highs within just a few days. Earlier today, it surged beyond $82,000 to establish a new record price, though it has since experienced a slight pullback.
