Has Donald Trump Made Crypto Worse or Better Since In Office?

[WatChe]

I will give him credit for the start of this term and when he's campaigning because we've seen the reaction of the market at that time.

But that stays there, other than that I don't think that he'd done better after that. With all of these meme coins from his family, it only suck a lot of people's money.

Although it's also the fault of those investors that have fed to the hype that he and his family created.

Recently Joe Biden son also launched a memecoin LAPTOP and it crashes soon after it's launch, same is the story of Trump memecoin. People are investing in such memecoins because they think that being launched by big personalities will make such memecoins a big success.

We saw biggest crypto liquidations in the history on Oct 10, 2025 and that was after Trump tweet in which he said that they are going to impose 100% tariff on China and withdraws that threat soon after. But that tweet did lot of damage to crypto market. Trump policies on crypto is just like anyothe US president.

[strunberg]

I can’t say that he has made any positive impact into the crypto space, he is just an individual and can have influence, but he can’t control the crypto space. So many things happen during his time, but he is not capable of changing anything from crypto, he can make some impact which creation if his meme coin was a way for him to make money as well for himself, despite him being in the office, he can’t control the market, that is why the government will make no good to the crypto in my opinion, there, their involvement will never have great impact to crypto because they will always tends to control it, and it is not possible for them.

When Trump was elected President of the United States, I observed the market moving in a positive direction because, during his campaign, he had shown interest in Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Unlike other U.S. presidents, Trump did not exert significant pressure on crypto; he even had a meme coin created about him—though I am skeptical as to whether he actually created it himself or if someone else did. While he might not have a direct impact on crypto as an individual, as U.S. President, he could enact policies that psychologically influence the crypto market. However, so far, I have not seen any major moves made by Trump.

Investors never learn.

They are buying the hype and testing their luck with it, if they're able to make some money out of it they'll celebrate.

But they know the risk that it is associated with and that's why they're trying even before a rug pull happens. Sadly, majority of them losses before they even exit.

[Abiky]

I don't know, but I have a feeling that those who are into the market specially in the last 3-5 years are no longer into the decentralization thing. It's more of how they can make a huge money in there as the market became one of the biggest if not the biggest speculative assets we have.

Not saying that Trump is good, but he is better as compare to the last US president who goes on a massive witch hunt on crypto and wanted to stop it at any cost. But regardless of who is going to be the US president, it's obvious by now that crypto can't be stop.

The lack of interest in true decentralization can be attributed to increasing market dominance from centralized forces. Centralized exchanges, as well as, institutional investment firms have ruined everything. Now almost everyone thinks about crypto as some sort of speculative investment rather than a serious tool for payments. Who cares about Banks' rise to power? If you can make money in crypto, nothing else matters.

Since Donald Trump has marketed himself as the "pro-crypto President", anything his administration does (either good or bad) will have a direct impact over crypto market prices. I would assume the market will turn bearish once Democrats take over by 2028. At least, for a short-period of time. Long-term speaking, the market should rise towards "infinity and beyond". The altcoins you see now, might no longer be relevant in the future. What's important is that you minimize losses as much as possible. Invest wisely, and there should be nothing to worry about.

I do not think it's fair to put all the blame on centralized exchanges and institutions, tbh. We all gotta own up to our part here, because we are the one putting profit above pretty much everything else. In fact, that was probably priority for most of us from the moment we got into market.

Let's be real, decentralization was never really our top priority. Profit was.

Don't forget ETFs got approved under Biden, and BTC hit its ATH well before Trump won the election. Market moves are driven by a metric ton of factors, not just who's sitting in the Oval Office or which party controls it. It's a mistake to attribute every market swing to a single individual or political party.

With the creation of Donald Trump's meme coins and all involvement into the crypto space. Has this made the space better or worse?
Did it make the reputation of the entire crypto space more positive or more negative?
As it was something many years ago that people did want governments to get involved in crypto for adoption.

Was this the wrong approach? Wrong type of government to do this?

Explain your thoughts on all this.

Donald Trump’s involvement in the crypto world has its positive side, where he has raised the profile of cryptocurrency on the global stage. And I believe Trump’s support for crypto has also brought in liquidity from smart money investors along with all the narratives they bring to the crypto space. On the other hand crypto adoption has also spread widely due to Donald Trump’s involvement. However Donald Trump’s meme coins have tarnished the crypto space because the performance of his altcoins has been so poor from their initial launch to the present. And I’m sure many people have formed a negative impression of crypto as a result. The performance of Trump coins isn’t as bad as that of Melania’s altcoins. But I think it amounts to the same thing by considering that all of them have performed very poorly and even perhaps have made new investors at the time reluctant to get involved in crypto again. And many new retail investors also seem to view crypto as a bad investment option even though they don’t realize that there is one crypto asset like Bitcoin that is worth investing in for the long term.

[Nanga Parbat]

I think Trump’s involvement has made crypto more popular worldwide cause it brought a lot of attention especially numerous people who didn't know or weren't interested in crypto before. This may be an advantage for crypto industry although there are some disadvantages too. Actually crypto is something that people can controll independently but when it comes to political involvements for personal profit then some people may not recognize it. Although clear rules and strong security from a project can help and protect users from scams and make crypto go ahead

Trump involvement has both sides of the coin because his involvement working positively, people are talking and reading about crypto and Bitcoin, but his meme coins hurt enough as well. He makes millions, but many lost their trust and funds due to this coin. He is doing things for his personal interest, which are surely having influence on crypto in the long run.Bitcoin surely have few edges just because of this its never been relay on any person's influence but overall crypto is having different things which are always works through influence his family done good use of its authority but now things are getting interesting because market sentiments are doing good hopefully things will be allow peoples to trust on crypto and have more investement which will end long run bear market ended.

Some dumb investors scares me, if Trump should launch another token today, there will be thousands of people partaking in buying the tokens, despite how easily the first meme project went underground.

Trump involvement in crypto is questionable, he doesn’t get involved in anything he doesn’t benefit, whatever decision he makes about crypto, he does that because there is much to gain than anyone else, what Trrump is doing is nothing but politics.

[retreat]

-snip-
However, so far, I have not seen any major moves made by Trump.

What major move do we expect from him? Every step he's taken so far has only been for his own benefit. I don't expect that he'll make any major moves in the remaining two plus years of his term. Most likely, he'll just prefer to play with the market to keep growing the crypto companies under him that make him hundreds of millions of dollars. Other than that, I don't think he'll make any big moves, especially since a part of Congress is still pretty skeptical about crypto.

Nah, they're not dumb. They're just gamblers hoping to make a decent profit by aping into whatever hype Trump creates.

He's never really cared about crypto, nor has he ever been friendly toward it like he claims. He is just using crypto, not only to serve his political career but also for his family own interest.
One of biggest reason Clarity Act keeps getting delayed and still has not passed is the ethics provision aimed at the Trump family's crypto holdings. He'd never let it through if there was nothing in it for him.

[nelson4lov]

I'd say Trump's impact on Bitcoin and the wider crypto market has been slightly positive. There have been a lot of positives for crypto during his tenure but the problem is that some of his policies like tariffs affected the market in a very negative way. Without those policies he made that affected crypto indirectly, his time in office would've been the best for crypto. It's still one of the best though, because we got the GENIUS Act and almost got the clarity act in legislation.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

For me US President Donald Trump boost the cryptocurrency and the market, his decision with the bitcoin and some crypto really affect the market and get more to pocket and invest. The US to make the BTC a reserve also give a pump in the market. And we know once BTC go high the other follow.

Same for me, This US tariff movement went really wild and some countries fight back. But If other countries go like US for getting reserve of BITCOIN and other crypto, we gonna go rocket.

As much as many Americans criticize Trump's impact on the economy, he has actually done more good than harm for the crypto/Blockchain industry. Name one President who's been as supportive of crypto as Donald Trump. Not even Joe Biden. Although, the first Bitcoin spot ETF was approved under the Biden administration. Other than that, nothing else was done to benefit the industry at the time. With Trump, it has been "win after win" for crypto. The only thing is the Clarity Act which didn't get the "green light" from Congress. But at least, the bill is there. It can be amended until it's favorable enough for both Republicans and Democrats.

Let's not forget about the Anti CBDC act, which was also proposed by Trump and his Republican base. This was meant to forbid the FED from ever issuing the US Digital Dollar. Good for crypto and privacy overall. It didn't turn into law, but like I've said with the other bill, this is subject to change. The midterm elections are approaching, with odds in Democrats' favor. If they win both chambers, crypto would be doomed. We'll see what happens.

[Brizi5000]

Yeah, I think Donald Trump has been vocal on crypto and recently he’s been extensively spoken highly about the crypto industry. For once I think he’s shifted from being skeptical to a major promoter or should I say player in the crypto world. Many people have criticized some of the high profile coins being launched band are tied to Trump tokens that couldn’t meet expectations and that’s why i always say that the crypto world isn’t tied to an individual as there are so many other factors that can influence how it plays out and for that it’s not about Donald Trump making it worse or better, it’s just the nature of cryptocurrencies to move the way they do.

[HajiBagi]

Did it make the reputation of the entire crypto space more positive or more negative?

Just think about it. Is the emergence of that shitcoin a good thing or is it making things worse?

From the start his involvement in the crypto space was only for his own benefit. Just look at how much profit he got from the crypto space. From his shitcoin royalties alone, he made US$635 million. That's just one thing; we haven't even talked about WLF, his personal crypto assets, his family's, etc.

You could say he made hundreds of millions of dollars without much effort.

From my own point of view, i think crypto still remains normal, i don’t see anything negative or positive since Donald Trump got to the office, after making a lot of promises and also his meme coin, all i think is that he use crypto to win election to get to the office, some people will say that he has done something but i don’t see anything good that he has done, and i also don’t see anything wrong because he can not stop bitcoin from becoming the best, there is nothing a government or a politician will promise and i will believe, because all they know is to make money for themselves.

I wouldn't say nothing's changed, tho. Crypto under Trump has had its ups and downs.
On the plus side, regulatory picture in the US is a lot clearer and friendlier to crypto now. That gives companies in the space a solid footing to operate and grow.
The downside isn't small either. He's abused his position for personal gain, and geopolitical uncertainty he's stirred up has had a big impact on the markets.

But you're right about one thing, politicians and governments put their own agendas and interests first. Don't trust any of them, not just Trump.

Given that major cryptocurrency companies lobbied Trump during the presidential campaign, it would be strange if he had a different attitude toward cryptocurrencies. It's true that the crypto industry in the US has improved under his administration, but let's be honest: everything he and his inner circle do regarding crypto is, for the most part, for their own personal gain.
As for the midterm elections, yes, the Democrats have a good chance of taking control of both chambers. However, even if that happens, I don't think the crypto industry in the US will be doomed.

This doesn't deny the fact that Donald Trump is using the crypto to show some interest to one of the major topics in debate just like he is supporting community. While he is in fact making big profit out of it in his shitcoins projects after using it in his electoral campaign.

Today the debate in the USA is about midterm elections, which the time for Trump to re-use the crypto debate again while try to deviate the attention from the big lose in Iran war.

I doubt whatever he says about crypto will have as much impact like it did when he spoke at Nashville. Most of those promises he made at the time are yet to be fulfilled so there is no need for him to start making more promises since everyone know that him and his family has single-handedly extracted more from crypto than any other group/entity since he became the president.

Surprisingly since midterm is nearing, Trump didn't really talk about crypto too much, I would have expected him to talk about crypto for midterm but so far there's nothing. Maybe he's done with it and have made enough profit and decided that it's not worth it anymore. There is even this news that discuss about how young male crypto fans has turned against trump.

Maybe everyone have finally figured out that what they got isn't what they expected. We were expecting better rules, even startegic reserve and what we getting is Trump's family run WLFI and meme coins.
