Analysts at Matrixport have evaluated Donald Trump's potential picks for key roles at the U.S. Treasury, Commerce Department, and Securities and Exchange Commission as a possible step towards a crypto-friendly political agenda.

Appointments and Their Impact on the Crypto Industry

The crypto-based financial services platform Matrixport released a report suggesting that the considered nominations could lead to a 'DeFi renaissance' in the U.S. The report highlights the possibility of changing the narrative around Bitcoin as 'digital gold' and a stronger push towards digitizing the country's financial economy.

Candidates' Positions

Trump's nominees for these positions include Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary and Scott Bessen as Treasury Secretary. Paul Atkins, a seasoned crypto lawyer and former SEC commissioner, is reportedly a top choice for the SEC Chair in January if Trump follows through on his promise to remove the current chair, Gary Gensler. These nominees are well-known for their vocal support for the crypto industry.

Future Prospects

The report also indicates a growing plausibility of establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve while maintaining the current framework. The analysts suggest that the new administration might not actively acquire additional Bitcoin but is expected to retain its existing holdings indefinitely. A pro-crypto U.S. administration could reshape financial policy and significantly boost global crypto adoption, prompting other governments to consider similar actions.

Trump’s nominations to key positions in U.S. departments herald potential changes in financial policy aimed at supporting and growing the crypto industry, which could impact both the domestic and global crypto markets.
