Unlike the Biden administration, Trump has shown enthusiasm for digital assets, and that’s raising expectations across Wall Street for a smoother path to the launch of a wider range of crypto ETFs.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alone has received applications this year for a host of funds tracking different types of digital tokens, such as Solana, XRP, and Litecoin. Filings are indicative of the industry’s push to bring crypto investments into the mainstream.
Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, said, “these altcoin ETFs were going to be pretty much dead-on-arrival if Harris won but with Trump they at least have a fighting chance.” While he added, that approval isn’t necessarily a given, Trump‘s position seems to eliminate some of the regulatory barriers.
The momentum builds on a recent wave of ETFs that began offering exposure to major cryptocurrencies this year, including Bitcoin and Ether. Since the launch, Bitcoin ETFs have pulled in more than $24 billion in net inflows, while Ether ETFs have seen about $500 million in outflows.
Markets immediately reacted to a Donald Trump victory, with Bitcoin reaching new highs and smaller tokens rallying. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF alone saw $4.1 billion in trading volume on Wednesday, its highest on record.
Trump’s return marks a dramatic comeback from his previous legal battles and a full-circle moment from crypto sceptic to loud supporter. Whether he can actually influence the independent agency is anyone’s guess, although Trump has promised to oust SEC Chair Gary Gensler for crypto-friendly regulators.
