President-elect Trump Promises U.S. Leadership in Cryptocurrency Growth

President-elect Trump promised an economic boom and said that he will make the United States a leader in cryptocurrency in his upcoming term.

“We’re gonna do something great with crypto because we don’t want China, or anybody else … but others are embracing it, and we want to be ahead,” Trump told CNBC’s Jim Cramer.

Trump also suggested the establishment of a national strategic Bitcoin reserve, one of the radical changes in the approach to digital currencies that the United States is making.

Trump’s sudden embrace of cryptocurrencies puts him in direct contrast with the scepticism from the current administration, which has often been at odds with the digital currency industry. His campaign was heavily funded by the crypto sector, to which he gave kudos for his re-election.

Bitcoin Surges as Trump Backs Digital Currency Innovation

Trump’s thinking about cryptocurrency has shifted over the last year from critic to fan, putting a “crypto czar” in his administration.

The pro-crypto agenda he announced, including a crypto-friendly chair for the Securities and Exchange Commission, has revitalized the markets, sending Bitcoin’s price through the roof past $100,000 and fueling the rallies for other digital tokens.

Eric Trump, son of the president-elect, said it was “amazing” to see all this develop and branded his father as the “most pro-crypto president in the history of America.” Addressing the crowd, Eric emphasized Trump’s commitment to promoting innovation in the industry without over-regulation.
