[UPDATED] Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing, where is the Trump pump?

[NotATether]

It appears that the only piece that is needed for this to cause everyone to forcefully celebrate is a very big pump on bitcoin and all of the other cryptocoins hehehehe.

However, the cryptospace appears to be very much behind the traditional markets in market performance. This is also headshaking that CZ was given a pardon after liquidating much of the market last week.

Why is this needed? CZ had already served his jail time.

Actually, I doubt Trump even knows who CZ is, or only has a vague idea of him. So why hand out pardons to strangers? Well the answer is that CZ desperately wanted one, so he ran a PR campaign everywhere to convince him to. Also he is suspected of paying traders on Polymarket to buy Yes shares for his pardon many weeks ago to artificially inflate the probability for PR purposes.

This does not help anyone else except for maybe $WLFI which was in the gutters before this news. But then why only Binance and not the 20+ other exchanges on CMC? Binance.com is not even available to US citizens.

Let's not forget that CZ invested heavily in Trump's WLFI project and its parent USD1 stablecoin. All in an attempt to buy his way out of a pardon. Turns out, CZ won. Binance is the world's biggest crypto exchange, so this would be a huge boost (bullish) for BNB and crypto as a whole.

It's good to see Donald Trump pardoning prominent crypto figures. First it was Ross Ulbricht, and now CZ. Maybe SBF is next? The odds are slim, but anything's possible. I'm sure no other president will be as extremely-bullish for crypto as Donald Trump. It will be the "Golden Age" for crypto in America. At least, within the next 4 years.

SBF chance will be slim as you said, SBF is known to be in support of democrat party although other high ranking FTX donated big chunk of money to republican as well.

I don't know what's the chance, the situation in my opinion, starkly different to CZ.

Boost for crypto?? We had just experienced the worst flash crash in crypto history only two weeks ago, where bitcoin dropped 20% in mere minutes and altcoins lost most of their price, causing liquidations everywhere, and let's not forget that Binance had suspiciously-timed "maintenance issues" which locked traders out of their stop losses, and now they pedaling some shitcoins is supposed to be good for the industry? Where's the pump for the rest of us?

Forgive me when I say this, but CZ is very slimy. I have lost most of the respect I had for him after he orchestrated this PR campaign to buy a pardon. It is just not something you should do if you want to maintain the integrity of crypto, and things like this will be why a large percentage of people will continue to view crypto as just a scam. (No matter their political affiliation.)

SBF chance will be slim as you said, SBF is known to be in support of democrat party although other high ranking FTX donated big chunk of money to republican as well.

If I was an FTX creditor, I would be very angry at the prospect of SBF getting a pardon. Let him rot in a life sentence.

What is everyone's market speculation when the government shutdown in America has ended? Will the Trump pump return to the cryptospace? We have witnessed all of these bullish news  from the administration of the Donald, however, the pumps have occurred only on the traditional finance markets and gold heheheeh.

When will the cryptospace have a very vigorous Trump pump?



A majority of the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a funding bill to reopen the government late Wednesday after a record-breaking 42-day shutdown, sending the continuing resolution to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.

Just this week, the Senate Agriculture Committee published an initial draft bill for their part of key market structure legislation that would define the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's role in overseeing crypto spot markets, as well as scheduled a confirmation hearing for Mike Selig, Trump's nominee to head that agency.

Although, President Donald Trump’s support of crypto markets has led to a slew of changes this year. Regulatory crackdowns have eased and new pro-crypto bills have passed. Lawsuits against major crypto companies have been dropped and Bitcoin has hit a couple of all-time highs, breaking $124,000 in August.

I genuinely wouldn't put all of my eggs and rocks in one basket anyway on this one.. But I hope the space will benefit from the shutdown being off the hook.

Trump is a wild card and we cannot be sure of what's going next in his head.

Snip

Recent end of government shutdown and new work on crypto laws are making big questions on whether crypto market will finally have strong price jump that has only been seen in traditional markets such as stocks and gold. Although end of the shutdown is good to all markets as it makes things seem more stable, most important news is that Congress is now working hard in writing of bill to clarify crypto rules particularly to CFTC. This pressure to have more clear regulation is seen as highly positive sign that might cause big investors to come into market. Thus, large number of individuals guess that crypto market will be more active this time, but as usual, real way of market will be determined by choices of all investors, and details of new legislation, which cannot be predicted with perfect exactness.

[bbc.reporter]

@Publictalk792. I appears that there was no Trump pump occurrence after the government shutdown has ended in America heheh. What has occurred is a dump because there are speculations that there is a big exchange that has become insolvent after the big dump on October 10.

We will wait for news updates on this because this might be a similar occurrence to FTX where Luna has collapsed and it was a few months later when everyone discovered that FTX was insolvent.

No. We probably won't see another for a while.

I think the absolute minimum is 2 years. But I think a pump like last year is more likely to come again in 3 years. For now, it's just going to be dips, sideways movements, and small recoveries.

Nothing big effect happen since I think that market sentiments by investors are over shadowed by liquidations happening and market fear.

People are not thinking about bullish these days since maybe majority of those people trade Bitcoin think about that we are heading for a bearish season this year that's why those events like Trump pump due to government shutdown end up didn't happen. Yeah let's just see for more updates if we could see some good news that can help Bitcoin to recover again.

Agreed that we might not witness another Trump pump for a while, however, markets might have a more positive reaction after the dumps that we have recently experienced. I speculate that we might have a small pump to $110k before dumping again to $90k.

Also, on your prediction of minimum 2 years that there will be no pump is headshaking. Certainly it will be less than this.

[bbc.reporter]

The cryptospace has witnessed the biggest support from the government and from the institutions, however, we have also witnessed the weakest market pump and a smaller market bubble compared to the bull markets before 2022.

Similar to Charles Hoskinson, are the investors who bought their cryptocoins before 2022 are dumping because they are not happy with the Donald's administration?



Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson said U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has put the American crypto industry in a worse position than it was under Trump's predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

Hoskinson, CEO and founder of Input Output Group, the company behind the Cardano blockchain and a co-founder of Ethereum, didn’t hold back in a wide-ranging interview with CoinDesk TV, sharply criticizing the Trump administration’s handling of the Trump Coin launch and his crypto policy. It's the continuation of an ongoing turnaround by Hoskinson, who said shortly after Trump was elected in November 2024 that he would be working with Trump's officials before souring on the administration last year.

“The very first thing he did is launch Trump Coin and it just felt like the extractiveness has now been institutionalized,” he said. “The U.S. government is participating in it as opposed to some Pump.Fun person.”

Hoskinson believes this rollout of Trump’s and Melania Trump’s coins also severely damaged the chance for meaningful bipartisan reform in early 2025. If the memecoins hadn't been launched, things might have turned out quite differently for the crypto industry.

“I think it would have been extremely different because we would have probably passed not only the GENIUS Act but also the Clarity Act, and there was a window of time where crypto legislation could have been intrinsically bipartisan” he said, pointing to the two most important bills for crypto regulatory frameworks, both of which hit a snag due to Democrats' concerns over Trump's crypto business ties.

There is a rumor that the Donald will pull his support if the changes that are being demanded by the democrats will be included in the crypto market structure bill. On the discussion on these changes you can find them in the legal subform being discussed by @zasad@ and I.

In any case, according to this chinaman, the cryptospace's Trump moment is over. There will not anymore be a Trump pump?



For much of 2025, crypto traded as if U.S. President Donald Trump was its inevitable savior. Prices ran ahead of policy, altcoins priced in political permissions, and the industry waited for a regulatory green light that never quite arrived. But as the year wound down, and Trump's reinauguration faded into memory, the market did not follow.

For Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, the fading Trump trade marked a turning point. The moment clarified that crypto’s next phase would not be driven by politics, but by structure, he said. Institutional capital, he argued, is changing how markets behave, pushing bitcoin into a reserve role while forcing altcoins to prove real utility.

Yat Siu is entitled to his opinion. The Bitcoin price is always affected by political decisions in most big economies. Donald Trump's policies on the industry will always affect the price. Let's just imagine if Trump announces that the US have started buying Bitcoin for its reserve. The high concentration of crypto businesses in the US and the economic and political power of the country will always give the president leverage.

A reasonable and prudent way to look at this is to consider that Bitcoin doesn't live in an isolated environment. It is affected by the political choices made by large economic nations such as the United States, which can have a significant impact on market behaviour. Because many of the largest crypto-related businesses are located in the US, anything a US president says or does in relation to cryptocurrency will have an impact. For example, if Trump were to declare that Bitcoin would be added to the national reserves, the market would most likely respond in a very significant way. In the world of cryptocurrency, there is much to be said about the importance of politics and the leverage that comes from being a major power in the world.

It's affected with them, but not in a long term.

Such news may hit the course for a bit, but overall, bigger events that truly take a toll on the economies or TradFi world do hit the crypto space much more harder..

You're right that short-term noise rarely sticks.

Still, this "Trump pump" narrative feels like a stretch. Political headlines dont move Bitcoin like actual liquidity cycles or ETF inflows do.

We're at **$93,250** today, and it's not like the price is reacting to every campaign tweet.

Why would one man's opinion move the needle that much? Real adoption drives value, not soundbites.

There's only one thing for sure that happened in the market. BTC's potential is shown through the community, not about the noise and currently, it's recovering from what BTC is really. Global adaptation and the hype ended, the solid ones remained that makes the foundation looks so good. BTC don't need these people, the community need BTC and that's the organic way, not the usual hype or pump and dump scheme by those greedy people. I can say that we're on a healthy market, where everything can be analyzed through trends but of course there are possibilities that these people will join the hype again once we're running upwards again but of course, people learned already.

The senate in America is speculated to vote on the Clarity act in 2 weeks. According to some news articles, the passage of this bill is not very optimistic. However, it appears that the market is getting ready heheheh.

If this bill will win the senate votes will this be a Trump pump or will this be a sell the news?



U.S. President Donald Trump said bankers are trying to undermine the GENIUS Act — the signature stablecoin legislation he signed into law last year — in a Truth Social post Tuesday, and he urged passage of Congress' crypto market structure legislation without interference.

He warned banks against holding the Clarity Act "hostage" in his post, saying the bill was necessary to keep the crypto industry in the U.S.
