This week, the DeFi sector showcased dynamic developments with several significant events and changes that will impact the future of cryptocurrencies and financial technologies.

Donald Trump's Victory: Impact on Crypto Industry

Donald Trump's 2024 election victory may mark a significant turning point for cryptocurrency regulation. His pro-crypto policies could propel the U.S. to become a Bitcoin leader. Trump's return also reignites discussions about clemency for Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. His potential DOJ shake-up and pledge to fire the SEC Chair signal regulatory shifts that could boost crypto growth.

Pro-Crypto Majority in the U.S. House

The U.S. crypto industry scored a major political win as 261 pro-crypto candidates were elected to the House, along with 17 senators. Backed by over $200 million in political contributions, key victories include Bernie Moreno’s Senate win in Ohio and Jim Justice’s governorship in West Virginia.

OpenSea Announces Major NFT Platform Upgrade

NFT marketplace OpenSea announced a major upgrade set to launch in December, aiming to revitalize its platform amid a market slowdown. While details are limited, OpenSea has opened a waitlist, requiring users to connect their crypto wallets. Speculation within the NFT community suggests potential new features, including account abstraction, shared NFT ownership, and enhanced blockchain integration.

Global Stablecoin Network by Robinhood and Kraken

A new coalition of top finance and crypto firms, including Robinhood, Galaxy Digital, Kraken, and Paxos, launched the Global Dollar Network to promote stablecoin adoption globally. This open framework, supported by an advisory committee of partner organizations, is centered on the Global Dollar (USDG), a stablecoin backed 1:1 by U.S. dollar assets, offering secure, redeemable digital currency.

UK Pension Fund Invests in Bitcoin

A UK pension fund made a landmark move by investing 3% of its assets in Bitcoin, marking the first known cryptocurrency investment by a British defined benefit pension scheme. The fund’s trustees, advised by consultancy Cartwright, undertook extensive due diligence, focusing on ESG factors, security, and Bitcoin’s investment potential.

These events highlight the importance of strategies and alliances in the modern world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. The industry continues to evolve, offering new opportunities and challenges for all market participants.
