As former U.S. President Trump returns to power, the changes in pro-encryption policies and regulatory environment he promoted may bring new opportunities for Ethereum. From the potential approval of a staking yield ETF to a direct investment from the Trump family, Ethereum is poised to regain its edge in this bull market shakeout. (Preliminary summary: Crazy! Trump nominates a super-hawkish undersecretary of defense: If the CCP invades Taiwan, "the United States should bomb TSMC first") (Background supplement: The founder of Tianqiao Capital warned: Friendly encryption supervision will not happen after Trump takes office Started overnight, that’s not how Washington works) In the performance of the encryption market over the past year, Ethereum has been dwarfed by Bitcoin and other public chain currencies, including Solana and Sui. The latest data shows that, Sui led the way with an astonishing increase of 434.1%, while Solana also achieved an increase of 84.2%, an increase that far exceeded that of ETH. This has also made Ethereum supporters and holders feel relatively depressed in the near future. However, many cryptocurrency experts point out that the election of former U.S. President Trump as the new president may bring favorable policies and inject new growth momentum into ETH. The regulatory environment has changed and revitalized formal encryption projects. Saul Rejwan, the managing partner of crypto venture capital firm Masterkey, publicly stated that Trump announced that Paul Atkins, the former SEC commissioner he nominated, will serve as the next SEC chairman. This change may completely change the regulatory environment. The SEC, previously led by Gary Gensler, has taken tough measures against DeFi projects, including investigating major projects such as Uniswap, which has restricted the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. In addition, the new government may also make the past "VC currency worthlessness theory" gradually disappear, because under the past regulatory environment, many venture capital institutions' investment in blockchain infrastructure and innovative projects was often not taken seriously, while the market once Keen to speculate on meme coins and other speculative assets that lack practicality. Rejwan pointed out that Trump’s encryption-friendly stance and potentially more friendly SEC policies will change this phenomenon. Regular projects no longer need to worry about receiving Wells notices from the SEC one after another, but will instead receive support from more regulatory agencies. Staking revenue ETFs may become a new engine for Ethereum capital inflows. On the other hand, under Trump’s new administration, the SEC may approve more ETF applications for Ethereum, especially ETFs that allow staking revenue functions. This move will not only Bringing higher capital inflows to Ethereum will also increase its attractiveness as an asset. According to Bernstein, staking rewards may increase to 4%-5%. In the context of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts, such a rate of return will be beneficial to Ethereum. Institutional investors will be more attractive. Soft endorsement of investment by the Trump family In addition, the decentralized financial project "World Liberty Financial" launched by the Trump family has invested a large amount of capital in the Ethereum ecosystem, purchasing core assets such as ETH, Chainlink, Aave, and ONDO, and encrypted Lawyer Robert Nupp believes that this kind of action is not only one of the largest "soft" endorsements of the Ethereum ecosystem, but will also stimulate more capital to pay attention to the future development of this blockchain network.
