Under President Trump, the U.S. is experiencing a dramatic shift toward accepting and promoting cryptocurrencyâa stark departure from prior attitudes during the Biden administration. Crypto firms, such as Coinbase, are now gaining significant recognition, becoming major players in the stock market with their recent inclusion in the S&P 500. This move is celebrated by industry advocates as a sign of U.S. leadership in the financial sector, though critics caution against the historical volatility and risks associated with crypto investments that may affect average Americans.
For years, crypto was viewed by many as a weird and fringe investment, hyped up by a bunch of math geeks and used widely by all kinds of unsavory characters.
Now, a radical shift is taking place under President Trump: From financial regulators to the halls of Congress and all the way to the Oval Office, the U.S. is fully embracing and even promoting crypto.
Having Coinbase be the first crypto company that's on the S&P 500 and (to be) in a position where more and more people are beginning to watch how we operate.
Advocates of cryptocurrencies welcome the developments, believing the U.S. is finally embracing and taking a global leadership role in promoting an area they say will help define the future of the financial sector.
