Prior to Donald Trump’s inauguration, an historic day for the United States, saw the outgoing president of the 2020 U.S. presidential elections step into political prominence. Known to be crypto-friendly, he had appointed pro-crypto figures as heads of various administrations and committees before his swearing-in ceremony.
Quel est le nouveau secrétaire au trésor des États-Unis
The U.S. Department of the Treasury (often referred to by its English form – Department of the Treasury) plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of the government. Its goal is to ensure the financial security of the United States while fostering economic prosperity.
Last November, Scott Bessent was appointed by Donald Trump to the position of Treasury Secretary. Being close to the president-elect for some time, he had the opportunity to share this news on his social network Truth Social:.
He will help usher in a new golden age for the United States by strengthening our role as the global economic leader, innovation hub, and business creation center (…), all while ensuring that the dollar remains undoubtedly the world’s reserve currency.
Graduate of Yale University and manager at Key Square Group, billionaire Scott Bessent is currently involved in the investment world and reportedly holds assets in the crypto industry. However, he plans to sell these holdings to avoid any potential conflicts of interest with his new role in the U.S. Treasury Department. His investment in up to half a million dollars worth of Bitcoin ETFs shows his interest in the sector.
La sénatrice Warren, attachée à ses convictions contre l’industrie crypto et l’administration Trump
A pro-crypto administration will never shake the determination some political actors will show in expressing their disagreement with sector developments and the negative beliefs they currently hold. This could be done through statements or press releases. The latest individual to do so is Senator Elizabeth Ann Warren, who has been sitting in the Senate since 2013 and is a Democratic Party member.
On January 12th, Elizabeth Warren sent Scott Bessent a letter outlining potential implications if he were to become the Treasury Secretary and her concerns that he lacked government experience, instead coming from a background in fund management, with the stated goal, according to her, being to further enrich the wealthy.
In the same letter, Senator Warren devotes a section titled “‘Anti-money laundering and measures against funding terrorism’“. To stay in line with traditional rhetoric that has been repeated for years, Elizabeth Warren states:
*In this part of the letter, I would like to discuss ‘Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures’* or simply put, *I will be focusing on strategies to prevent money laundering and fund terrorist activities in this section.*
Poor actors are heavily turning to cryptocurrencies as a means to launder money, dodge sanctions, and finance threats against national security. For instance, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, North Korea’s nuclear program, China’s arms sales to sanctioned countries, ransomware attacks, and even cyberattacks. In November 2023, the Treasury acknowledged the growing threat posed by cryptocurrencies.
Trump, la personnalité politique qui se fera une place dans l’histoire de l’écosystème ?
Since the threats to cryptocurrencies were recognized in 2023, with the issues at FTX and the traditional anti-crypto stance of Gary Gensler adding fuel to the fire, times have certainly changed on the market. It’s clear that 2025 promises to be a year full of surprises. This is particularly evident in the increased on-chain activity within DeFi and the rise in prevented scams and record fundraisings. Whether it’s the Meme Index (currently in pre-launch) or innovative non-custodial wallets like Best Wallet, the market is truly explosive. As a researcher, I can’t wait to see what unfolds!
Trump is shaking up the system, and this is particularly noticeable in the types of politicians we can expect to see either supporting or opposing the ecosystem. Here are some data, generally favorable towards the industry, from Coinbase’s latest 2025 outlook report.
Trump’s actions are causing changes within the system, and this is reflected in the types of politicians who might support or oppose the ecosystem. Here’s some positive data for the industry from Coinbase’s recent 2025 forecast report.
These data regarding the Senate and the House of Representatives highlight a crucial element: Donald Trump must craft the right policies to ensure he maintains a critical advantage – majority rule. Consequently, if he wants to preserve a political environment that aligns with his beliefs in the year 2025, he will need to be highly persuasive.
