Trump Administration Takes New Crypto-Enthusiastic Regulatory Approach
Since the November election, there has been much prognostication about how crypto regulation and enforcement may change under the Trump administration. The consensus before Inauguration Day was that we would see a significant change in how regulators approach crypto, with a shift away from enforcement and toward developing a new, practical regulatory framework. Now, just weeks since the Trump administration took the reins, we can already see the broad outlines of a truly seismic change in the U.S. government’s approach to crypto — one that promises to create never before seen opportunities for crypto to expand its presence and achieve an unparalleled level of integration into the U.S. and global financial systems.
This new crypto-enthusiastic regulatory approach started to come into sharper focus immediately after the election, when then-President-elect Donald Trump nominated former PayPal chief operating officer David Sacks as the new “AI and crypto czar” and put forth former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins as the new Securities and Exchange Commission chair. Both Sacks and Atkins have been vocal proponents of crypto, and their selection signaled the incoming Trump administration’s intent to work with the crypto industry on developing a friendlier regulatory regime. And this trend has continued. Last week, President Trump nominated former CFTC commissioner Brian Quintenz, now the head of policy for the crypto fund of venture capital firm a16z, to be the next Commodity Futures Trading Commission chair.
