President Donald Trump is moving towards implementing an administration-friendly to cryptocurrencies. A clear signal is the appointment of David Sacks as the White House Chief of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency Affairs.
 

This appointment has sparked widespread speculation about the role of 'Head of Cryptocurrency Affairs': how will this role operate specifically? Will it have substantial policymaking authority? Will it facilitate a clearer regulatory framework? Is Sax merely an advisor without a formal government title or power? Or will this role push for the establishment of a new government cryptocurrency asset reserve?

Since Trump won the presidential election on November 5, 2024, the price of Bitcoin has soared. Just a month later, Bitcoin broke through the $100,000 mark, sparking a new wave of market enthusiasm.

Behind the euphoria lies a series of crypto-friendly statements made during Trump's campaign. He explicitly promised that if elected, he would strongly support the development of the cryptocurrency industry, aiming to make America the 'global cryptocurrency capital' and declaring plans to establish a 'Bitcoin strategic reserve.' Additionally, Trump announced the crypto platform supported by his family—World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

On January 20, the day of the inauguration of US President Trump, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a DeFi project supported by the Trump family, announced that it had increased its holdings of WBTC worth $32.81 million, ETH worth $37.47 million, TRX worth $4.7 million, and various other cryptocurrencies, with a total increase of more than $88 million. TRX was listed for the first time, which means that Justin Sun, as WLFI's strategic advisor and largest investor, has already started in-depth cooperation with the Trump family. One day later, the WLFI treasury added another $2.65 million in TRX reserves. It is obvious that this is the role played by strategic advisor Justin Sun behind the scenes.

Trading Psychology reveals the hidden mind games behind successful cryptocurrency trading. As a trader, your mind can be your most powerful tool - or your greatest weakness.
 

Your personal biases, like confirmation bias and overconfidence, can quietly sabotage your financial decisions without you even realizing it.
 

The most successful traders are not necessarily the smartest, but rather those who understand their own psychological patterns, control their emotions, and can make rational choices under pressure.
 

By recognizing how your brain naturally reacts, you can develop discipline, manage risk more effectively, and transform trading from an emotional roller coaster into a strategic, precision-focused operation.

In the past 24 hours, we have witnessed two historic moments. On one hand, TikTok fell victim to the ongoing new Cold War between the United States and China; on the other hand, the President of the United States launched his own meme coin, based on a currency network that was once marginalized and regarded as a hotbed of scams. These two events happened on the same day, which is a perfect intersection of geopolitical tensions and financial populism.
 

I am confident in the future of this industry as it is the most supranational, global, and permissionless experimentation ground there is, but I would also like to caution everyone to remain cautious at this stage of the cycle as there are too many signs that this “orgy of violence” bears similarities to the patterns that led to the “violent end” in previous cycles.

1. Trump was sworn in, becoming the first "crypto president" in American history.

4. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler officially resigned, Mark Uyeda appointed as acting chairman.

5. USDC Treasury minted an additional 250 million USDC on the Solana chain.

6. Utah Representative Jordan Teuscher proposed strategic Bitcoin reserve legislation.

7. The Ethereum Foundation allocated 50,000 ETH to participate in the DeFi ecosystem, and has conducted test trades on Aave.

 

 

 

Recently, Trump launched a Memecoin that caused a global sensation and there are many different opinions. However, some media are like weather forecasters. In addition to telling you whether the price has risen or fallen, and repeating how many people have been liquidated, most people actually think too simply about this matter. There may be deeper intentions behind it.

Today we will analyze the logic, motivation and possible impact of Trump's currency issuance from multiple perspectives...

 

 01 
What is Trump doing by issuing Memecoin?

In recent years, the memecoins released through Trump's social accounts and led by the family group's affiliated companies are not only the TRUMP of the past two days, but also personal image NFT on the Ethereum chain, the WLFI project, a DeFi platform based on Ethereum, and Bitcoin inscription NFT, etc. In view of Trump's friendly "commitment" to innovative industries such as encryption during the campaign, these seemingly unrelated encryption projects seem to be "unprofessional" and randomly released by Trump's team, but when connected together, they seem to be a professional behavior of early layout in multiple tracks in the encryption field.
