  2. CBDC Halt: The former president promised to stop the development of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), citing concerns over government control.
  3. SEC Shakeup: On his first day in office, Trump pledged to dismiss SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, signalling a potential easing of crypto regulations.

  5. Dollar Dominance: Despite his pro-Bitcoin stance, Trump maintained that Washington’s policies, not cryptocurrencies, are the real threat to USD supremacy, a statement that is sure to pique the interest of financial analysts and policymakers.
