Can Trump’s pro-crypto policies survive beyond his administration?
US President-elect Trump will take office on January 20, with expectations of pro-crypto policies from industry executives. The longevity of these policies may depend on the political landscape, particularly if Vice President JD Vance succeeds Trump in 2029. If Democrats regain control in future elections, Trump's pro-crypto initiatives could be at risk, especially those enacted via executive orders. Joe Doll from Magic Eden noted that the Trump administration has a limited window of 24 months to implement these policies due to a likely Democratic shift in the House by the 2026 midterms. Former House Speaker Paul Ryan emphasized the need for bipartisanship in crypto regulation, highlighting the challenge of passing reforms with a slim Republican majority. Lee Bratcher from the Texas Blockchain Council suggested that political pressure from industry advocates may lead Congress members to support crypto initiatives post-2024 elections.
