Trump and Crypto: Boom or Bust?

[Jeorgejs]

This is not new. When TRUMP previously smacked a 100% tariff on China, adding to the earlier 30%, the crypto market had a negative reaction. Volatility increased sharply, around $400 billion in market cap disappeared, and the global economy felt the impact. Even decentralized coins can’t escape global shocks proof that politics still moves crypto.

Some of good geopolitical news gave the global economy a little breather and crypto got the lift too. When the time it looked like US and China trade tensions were easing and tariffs might slow, Bitcoin and a bunch of altcoins jumped. Prices climbed as investors got more confident, and other money started flowing back in. Goes to show: even small positive signs in the economy can give digital assets a real boost.

Can we really call Trump the hero of crypto and world markets?

I wouldn't call him a hero, not at all. But his administration is surely much better than the previous one which was all about regulation through enforcement. There is no denying that Trump has his own personal interest in all of this, i mean, he even created a memecoin and his wife also did the same, lol.

BTC and a large part of the financial markets react to political and economic news, it has always been that way. Since Trump became president, he has made a lot of rash decisions, especially starting off a trade war, which was not good for the crypto network in the short term. However, in terms of a direct attack on the crypto network and its services, his adminstration has been kind of soft on that front.

If we can really be honest to ourselves we will give some credit to Trump when it comes cryptocurrency even though we can’t really call him the hero but we can say his part of the heroes because as far as I’m concern the growth of cryptocurrency is not attributed to just one person and I believe Donald Trump is among the heroes of cryptocurrency, recently I saw a news online and I think someone posted it here too that Donald Trump wants to remove paying of tax’s for holding bitcoin and if he achieves that which I’m sure he will it’s a big achievement to him one that the cryptocurrency society won’t forget in a hurry.
I know we expected more from him because when he was running for the presidential sit he made us believe he will do more but he has tried too even though he didn’t do as expected.

Neither one thing nor the other. Trump saw Bitcoin as a niche for potential electoral support, and he took advantage of it. He has done important things such as banning CBDCs, strategic reserves (although he has not added Bitcoin), as well as generally more favourable legislation. But I'm sure that if Trump has 100 issues on his mind, Bitcoin is among the last 20. This is despite the fact that more than half of his cabinet are Bitcoiners, as are his children.

I wouldn't call Trump the champion of cryptocurrencies and global markets, but I would call him the champion of global chaos. He's like a hurricane, wreaking havoc wherever he goes. Since he took office, we wake up every day to a new problem whether economic, political, or military.

We cannot deny that there was some benefit to his era through the opening of the United States to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but the biggest beneficiary was the stablecoins backed by the US dollar. On the other hand, Trump caused great harm to the cryptocurrency market through the memes he released for himself, his wife and his family, which caused great damage to the market.

Lol, the memecoin stunt was crazy i have to admit that. Seeing a president and his family launch their own individual memecoin must be up there in the highlight of his time as president of the United States. However, i dare to say he is much better than the previous administration regarding crypto.

The Biden Administration was all about attacking the network and regulating it through enforcement, that is not something that has happened so much under Trump. And then putting a stop to the terrible idea called cbdc in the U.S. was a great move, well appreciated.

Trump and his family made huge profit from that memecoin stunt and one of the reasons why many people rushed to invest in that Trump coin was because they saw him as the president that has the capacity to create a better world with crypto and some investors may be thinking it could be the cryptocurrency they lunched .

Yeah his administration is far better than the past administration. The cbdc was something that would have threaten individual privacy and financial freedom so yeah he did a very good job by stopping it. The next administration should do better too.

I completely agree with this. Trump's actions show a disregard for all international norms and agreements. And he still has a few years left in office. During that time, he could do a lot of bad things, the consequences of which would have a profound impact on the entire world.
The consequences of Trump's policies will be remembered for many years after his term ends.

Unfortunately, this is true. Trump considers himself the master of the world and is indifferent to his actions and disregards international norms and laws. He doesn't even respect heads of state and mocks them on camera. This has never happened before in the history of diplomacy.

These actions generate a great deal of hatred towards Trump and the United States, and it is certain that these policies pursued by Trump will have dire consequences for the world in all economic, political, and even military spheres. Some fear that Trump's recklessness could lead the world to a third world war.

Legally, in the crypto world, Trump is not worthy of being called a crypto hero. Trump entered both cryptocurrencies with a purpose, one of which is for personal gain, we understand that Trump applies various market policy rules and laws, tariffs and so on, so that investors and the public fled to the crypto market, he created a commotion by utilizing his military power to crash the stock market and create the Bitcoin market.

Trump has caused damage to this planet earth, since he was inaugurated on January 20 2025 yesterday, for me and legally Trump has failed in maintaining the global economy, overall, he is a crypto hero for his own family.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

<...> he created a commotion by utilizing his military power to crash the stock market and create the Bitcoin market.

What are you saying? Since Trump took office, the US stock market benchmark, the S&P 500, has risen by about 13%, while bitcoin has fallen by about 13% in the same period. In any case, if that is solely due to Trump, he has done the opposite of what you say: he has caused the stock market to rise and bitcoin to fall when it was most expected to rise. There was an initial spike after his election, but then nothing.

[Z-tight]

and one of the reasons why many people rushed to invest in that Trump coin was because they saw him as the president that has the capacity to create a better world with crypto and some investors may be thinking it could be the cryptocurrency they lunched .

Lol, how did they think he was going to do that. It was a memecoin and there is one reason people buy memecoins, to ride on the hype and see if they can make money from it before it dumps. Unluckily for many, they lost a lot of money and made much more for the creator, Mr president and our classy First Lady.

The next administration should do better too.

It is a long way until then. If it is a republican, then maybe they would continue in a similar way to Trump. However, i would not be so optimistic about a Democrat, we might return to something close to Mr Biden's administration and i am sure i do not want that, neither should you.

It will be wrong to call him an hero because the reason for the volatility was from them. So making them hero would be rewarding bad behavior without considering what would have happened if this individual do not allow for  such. The volatility across both crypto and stock market goes on to show that the two markets are becoming intertwined more than we are made to believe and the investors in both markets are behaving in similar fashion which goes on to show maybe the same players are in the two markets. Time would tell on that though.

Trump is still bullish on bitcoin, and he aims to make America a bitcoin-friendly country, but that is only one small thing for him. He has to deal with many other things that relate to world politics and economic conditions. His other policies, such as imposing tariffs on other countries, his stance on Iran, and his aim to acquire Greenland and other assets, create uncertainty in the market and have had a negative impact not only on bitcoin but also on gold and silver prices, where we have seen manipulation.

Conditions are favorable for the crypto and stocks to perform better at least in the short term.

it is just about time, America will be a nation monopolizing cryptocurrency 

[Z-tight]

it is just about time, America will be a nation monopolizing cryptocurrency 

It depends on what 'monopolizing' means in this context. The u.s. under Trump is doing well to get involved in crypto, probably to go ahead of other countries in terms of adoption. Though they are still yet to set up the BTC strategic reserve, even though they have laid down the framework.

However, if by monopolizing you mean control, then it depends on the crypto we are talking about. The u.s. has a large market of crypto enthusiasts and it it also has a strong influence on the crypto market, but you cannot control a decentralized network like BTC for example. As for centralized coins like stablecoins, they do have some control over them.

[Veloxcrypt]

I wouldn’t call Trump a crypto hero. I see him more as a strategic leader who understands how to use influence and timing.
His crypto-related tweets and public support always felt calculated, especially knowing he likely had personal or political interests aligned with the market. When you look at the $TRUMP and $MELANIA coin saga, it’s clear the launches were driven by hype and narrative rather than long-term value.
In reality, more investors lost money than benefited. A small group got in early and exited with profits, while the majority bought into the excitement and paid the price. That doesn’t make it accidental; the hype, timing, and rollout all seemed very strategic.
So Trump is not really a crypto hero; he is just a strategic leader who wants his country to lead in the most innovative financial system.

[atookz]

It is possible to overstate the fact that Trump is a hero to crypto and the world markets. The markets do not move due to a single individual, but due to the aggregate expectations of stability, liquidity and the trend of the global economy. Trump and crypto and their relationship are not about boom and bust: it is more about the emotional ups and downs of the market. Cryptocurrencies will be influenced by politics, no matter who takes over the presidency, as long as crypto is still a constituent of the global economic environment. The intensity of shocks is the only thing that varies.

The biggest lesson therefore, in my opinion, is not complicated. In crypto, similar to politics, there are no big decisions, but surprises. Then, you should not fall in love or despise the market due to one person.

Yeah, some people would even go as far as calling it a flat out scam, in other words, the president of the u.s. scamming through crypto, lol. But in truth it is hard to disagree with them. It had all the makings of a typical memecoin scam, pump and massive dump. This is surely one of the things he has done since he became president that everyone collectively disagrees with.

President Donald Trump as the President of the United States has a lot of impact in the world market and this involves the cryptocurrency market, everything he says affect the market one way or another and I think he will always have an impact on the cryptocurrency market since he was seen as a fair and positive president to the cryptocurrency market unlike the previous President Joe Biden that had a lot of negativity towards the market. The market will constantly receive a positive impact if the news are been pushed positively towards the world market in general and not just the cryptocurrency market. The world leaders are avoiding to involve themselves in the cryptocurrency market because they do not want the industry to have more power than they currently do I do think that the tariff from the United States president on China, will always have an impact on the market but for now with the way the market is constantly declining I don't think things are looking too positive. The market might have a little increase if the tariffs isn't that bad on China, China and other affected countries are looking for alternative ways to bypass the US inorder to avoid the tariffs which is affecting their market and that of other market.
