Donald Trump has leaned into his unofficial role as the “crypto president” in ways that can both help the crypto industry and enrich himself and his family.
Once a skeptic of cryptocurrencies, Trump has made a complete reversal and embraced digital currencies in a way no other elected official has done. He’s promised to enact crypto-friendly policies and make the U.S. “the world capital” of digital assets.
He’s also attached the Trump name to a crypto token and other crypto-themed products. The cryptocurrency industry, which spent heavily to help Trump win last year’s election, has expressed mixed feelings about some of his crypto ventures.
