Major changes are expected in the U.S. cryptocurrency investor community with the upcoming implementation of clear regulatory standards, anticipated by November or, at the latest, March 2026.
Role of the Trump Administration and Democrats
According to hedge fund manager and longtime cryptocurrency investor Anthony Scaramucci, both the Trump administration and Democrats could play crucial roles in shaping new cryptocurrency regulations. Speaking at the Digital Assets forum in London, Scaramucci highlighted the influence of the crypto industry on U.S. politics, noting over $133 million raised during the 2024 election cycle.
Economic Policy and Crypto Investors
Despite optimism for regulatory advancements during the Trump administration, Scaramucci warned that investors should prepare for the full array of policies from the former president, including unexpected measures. Notably, a 25% import tariff was announced, which shook markets and triggered a sell-off affecting various sectors, including crypto.
Regulatory Priorities and the Next Generation of Laws
Key regulatory priorities for the sector include stablecoin legislation and a law defining cryptocurrencies as a separate asset class, distinct from traditional securities such as stocks and bonds. These measures would help alleviate concerns among institutional investors wary of venturing into crypto due to regulatory uncertainties. Scaramucci suggested that Trump's cabinet might help pass favorable crypto regulations.
The impending regulatory changes could have a considerable impact on the U.S. crypto sector. Investors should follow developments closely and prepare for a new era of engagement with crypto assets.
