Donald Trump believes cryptocurrencies could flourish, but a hostile U.S. regulatory stance is blocking progress.
Trump warns that without crypto adoption, the U.S. risks falling behind countries like China in the digital currency race.
Younger generations, including Trump’s children, are embracing cryptocurrencies, highlighting the growing interest and use in payments.
Donald Trump recently expressed his belief that cryptocurrency holds great potential, describing it as a growing and youthful industry. According to the former president, the opportunity for digital currencies to become something significant is evident.

However, Trump pointed out that the current regulatory environment under the Biden administration, possibly led by Kamala Harris, has created a hostile stance toward the industry, which he believes is holding back the sector's progress.
His comments reflect a concern that without proper support, the U.S. could lose its edge to countries like China, which are already advancing in the crypto space.
Hostile SEC Blocking Crypto's Growth
Trump specifically criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its aggressive posture toward cryptocurrencies. He noted that this regulatory hostility is stalling growth and innovation within the industry. The Biden administration, in his view, appears uncertain on how to manage the crypto sector.
Notably, he questioned whether it should even be called the "Biden administration" or the "Harris administration." Despite these concerns, Trump suggested that America needs to push forward or risk falling behind countries like China, which are moving ahead with crypto adoption.
U.S. Risks Falling Behind Without Crypto Adoption
China’s rapid advancement in cryptocurrency development, according to Trump, presents a major risk for the U.S. He emphasized that if the United States does not take the lead in this sector, other nations will quickly fill the gap. However, the U.S. still has a key advantage.
Trump highlighted his personal belief in crypto, noting that his perspective, combined with America’s technological edge, could help secure the country’s dominance. He stressed the urgency for the U.S. to take crypto seriously to maintain its leadership in global finance.
Crypto Popular Among Young Generations
Trump highlighted the growing interest in cryptocurrencies among younger generations, including his children. He mentioned that his son Barron, who owns several crypto wallets, is deeply involved in the space, showcasing how young people grasp digital currencies better than older generations.
Additionally, he noted that cryptocurrency is increasingly being used in transactions, with more people using it to make payments, a trend that was not as visible a few years ago.
