Trump's team has indicated that addressing these issues is a priority, with industry officials advocating for crypto-related executive orders within his first 100 days in office. Notably, Trump had previously address the Bitcoin 2024 conference promising to elevate the U.S. as a global 'crypto capital.' Furthermore, VC Marc Andreessen has been actively involved in helping shape the incoming administration's tech and defense roles, suggesting a significant interest in technological and regulatory changes in favor of crypto during Trump's upcoming presidency.
