The United States and Trump’s pro-crypto stance

The US is a global powerhouse and home to over 28 million crypto users (8.3% of the population). In 2024, financial giants BlackRock and Fidelity entered the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market, giving Bitcoin a major credibility boost and making it more accessible to traditional investors. 

With a mature crypto infrastructure, including major exchanges, custodians, BTC payment services and a growing roster of institutional investors, the US is undergoing a massive shift under President Trump’s second office tenure.

Ahead of the 2024 elections, Donald Trump has flipped the script — going from crypto skeptic to outspoken supporter. He’s embraced pro-Bitcoin, pro-crypto policies and is actively courting the growing Web3 voter base. At campaign rallies, he’s pledged to support “financial freedom” and cut regulatory red tape, marking a potential turning point in US crypto policy.

“Crypto should be made in America — not driven offshore by bad policies.” — Donald Trump, 2024 presidential campaign rally. 

His stance has energized the US crypto scene and signaled that Bitcoin — and broader digital asset innovation — could become a key political and economic priority in the years ahead.
