Is Trump suddenly banning cryptocurrencies? Politicians' flip-flops happen faster than changing weather!

The crypto world is constantly changing, but politicians' shifts are even more astonishing. Last night, while watching the BTC chart, I suddenly saw a message on Twitter: Trump is considering banning investor participation in cryptocurrencies. My first reaction was, is this guy's account hacked again? After all, last year this big shot was adamant about making the US the "cryptocurrency capital," even planning to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Now suddenly doing a 180-degree turn, it's like my friend who yesterday was shouting "Bitcoin is the future," asking me today whether he should sell. The real motives behind the policy flip
Trump's attitude towards cryptocurrencies completely follows political interests. Looking back to 2019, he publicly criticized Bitcoin as "value built on thin air," and even said crypto assets would facilitate illegal activities. But during the 2024 election campaign, he transformed into a supporter of cryptocurrencies. Why such a quick change? The simple reason is — the crypto industry has provided him with huge political donations. Reports say the entire crypto industry has contributed nearly $250 million to Trump. This is not just a generous gift but also a declaration of allegiance from the crypto sector. After Trump took office, his family members directly jumped into the money-making game. On January 18, 2025, just two days before his inauguration, he launched his personal meme coin, "Trump Coin," which surged from $0.18 to $30 in just 12 hours, reaching a peak of $75, a 412-fold increase from the opening price. This meant Trump’s net worth skyrocketed by $28 billion overnight. Such vested interests—now suddenly talking about banning investor participation? I think either the news is false or there’s another agenda behind it.
Three possibilities behind the ban rumor
Based on my years of experience observing policies and markets, such sudden policy rumors usually have three possibilities:
1. Testing market reactions. Just like the Federal Reserve often leaks information to gauge market sentiment, Trump’s team might want to see how such news impacts the market. After all, the total market cap of cryptocurrencies is now enormous, and policymakers need to act cautiously.
2. Paving the way for future legislation. The Trump administration has already been pushing for a regulatory framework for stablecoins. Sometimes extreme messages are released to make subsequent policies appear more "moderate."
3. Purely a propaganda war. Don’t forget, next year is an election year, and Trump might need to distance himself from the crypto industry to appeal to moderate voters.
Market impact: short-term negative, long-term possibly positive
From a trading perspective, if the ban really happens, it will definitely be bearish in the short term. But in the long run, policy suppression often creates buying opportunities. Looking back at history, when China banned ICOs and crypto trading in 2017, the market plummeted but then reached a true bottom. Similar situations also occurred in the US: in 2023, when the US SEC cracked down on the crypto industry, Bitcoin briefly fell below $16,000, but then entered a new rally. The current market structure is completely different from the past. Traditional giants like BlackRock have already entered in large numbers, with Bitcoin ETF assets exceeding $100 billion. Once these big institutions enter, they won’t exit easily. They have enough lobbying power to influence policy directions. More importantly, the global nature of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult for a single country's policies to kill them. US bans can only temporarily slow down development but cannot stop technological innovation.
My response strategy: stay calm and don’t panic
In facing such news, my personal approach is: first, do not blindly believe unverified policy rumors. Washington leaks various information every day, but very few actually become law.
