One of the key parts of Trump’s plan is an executive order to align the government with the crypto industry. To be signed on January 20 the order will ask regulators to work with crypto leaders to form a crypto advisory council. This will be a platform for industry stakeholders to voice concerns and suggest regulations that promote innovation.

This comes after a big jump in Bitcoin’s price which just crossed $102,000. Analysts say the price increase is due to market confidence in the incoming administration’s positive stance on digital assets.

Bitcoin Reserve Proposal Gains Traction

One of the more radical plans being considered by Trump’s administration is a national Bitcoin reserve. The US government already holds around $20 billion in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, mostly from seized assets in law enforcement cases.

Advocates including the Bitcoin Policy Institute have proposed using $21 billion to create a Bitcoin reserve, to position it as a strategic asset for the US economy. This would allow the country to pay off its growing debt and increase its global influence. Some lawmakers like Senator Cynthia Lummis have criticized plans to sell seized Bitcoin, saying it would undermine the reserve’s purpose.

And there are talks of expanding this reserve to include other digital assets like Solana (SOL) and XRP. By diversifying its assets the US could strengthen its position in a digital economy.

Crypto Regulation Overhaul Under Trump

Trump’s administration will also address crypto de-banking and overhaul outdated financial regulations that treat digital assets as liabilities. This will allow banks to manage and hold crypto assets better and open up the market to more participants.

Besides regulatory changes there are talks that ongoing lawsuits against crypto companies could be re-examined. Sources say the SEC may pause some cases especially those without fraud allegations under Trump’s watch. Ripple Labs’ Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty recently said the lawsuits against Ripple could be dismissed altogether, good for crypto companies.

Key Points:

  • Trump to sign an executive order prioritizing cryptocurrency.

  • Proposal to create a national Bitcoin reserve worth $21 billion.

  • Plans to review and relax crypto-related regulations for banks.
