Donald Trump to Issue Executive Order for Cryptocurrency Pledges Right After Inauguration

There is a possibility that Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, will issue an executive order to implement cryptocurrency-related policies immediately after taking office.

According to Reuters on the 24th (local time), cryptocurrency industry insiders are urging Trump to implement cryptocurrency-related policies within the first 100 days of his presidency, with some expecting an executive order to be announced on the inauguration day, January 20th.

Previously, Trump had pledged during his presidential campaign to be the ‘Cryptocurrency President,’ promising strategic reserves of Bitcoin (BTC), ensuring access to financial services, and establishing a cryptocurrency council.

Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal and Policy Officer at Polygon Labs, stated, “Considering the weight of the statements from the Trump campaign, it is important to clearly present priorities and a roadmap through an executive order on the first day.”

Meanwhile, the Trump administration recently appointed Paul Atkins, who has a pro-cryptocurrency stance, as the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and David Sacks as the head of cryptocurrency and AI responsibilities on the Presidential Cryptocurrency Advisory Committee.
