Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, serving a life sentence, recently expressed hope that Donald Trump might commute his sentence following Trump's election victory. Ulbricht, convicted in 2015 for money laundering and other charges, tweeted about seeing "the light of freedom." Despite Trump's past promises, skepticism remains among crypto advocates about his commitment to freeing Ulbricht. Trump's other crypto-related campaign promises include firing SEC Chair Gary Gensler and opposing a central bank digital currency. As Trump prepares for a potential new term, the crypto community watches closely.
