Donald Trump is set to make waves as he returns to the White House on January 20. The President-elect is expected to hit the ground running with a series of executive orders—some of which could bring major changes to the crypto world.
According to The Washington Post, Trump’s team is eyeing two big moves: addressing crypto de-banking and reversing a policy that forces banks to report digital assets as liabilities on their books.
Insiders have confirmed that the new administration sees this as a top priority.
Crypto leaders have long criticized the Biden administration, accusing it of pressuring banks to cut ties with the industry—a campaign many refer to as “Operation ChokePoint 2.0.”
Trump’s potential orders could challenge this narrative, signaling a shift in how the government handles financial regulations.
Another hot topic is the 2022 SEC policy, SAB 121, which requires banks to report crypto holdings as liabilities.
The industry has been pushing hard against this rule, arguing it unfairly burdens businesses dealing with digital assets.
