  • Donald Trump made an about-face during his campaign to side with the cryptocurrency industry.

  • His victory should have a first concrete effect: a change at the head of the SEC, the American financial policeman, known to be hostile to the sector.

  • The president-elect’s entourage is itself involved in cryptocurrencies, a strong signal for the market.

This is a first in the history of cryptocurrencies: the next president of the United States is openly favorable to the sector. Donald Trump actually changed his position during his electoral campaign.
