2025 is going down in history as a memorable year for the cryptocurrency world. Held on January 17th in Washington, D.C. and dubbed the Trump Crypto Ball, the event caught the attention of not only the crypto industry but the whole world. The event, which was organized to celebrate the positive policies of US President Donald Trump, who won the election, towards cryptocurrencies, is considered a turning point.
Trump’s Crypto Strategy: Making America the Crypto Leader
Although Donald Trump had a distant attitude towards cryptocurrencies during his previous presidency, he radically changed his policy as of 2024. Trump, who started to see cryptocurrencies as a lever for the economic development of the United States, decided to accelerate regulations on the sector and support innovative initiatives.
The Trump Crypto Ball stands out as one of the first concrete steps of this vision. The event provided a platform for the crypto community to come together, exchange ideas and develop strategies for the future economy.
Who Attended?
The ball was attended by the most influential names in the crypto world. Entrepreneurs, industry leaders and investors in the crypto industry showed up at the event. The event also attracted the attention of popular culture.
Not only entertainment, but also serious discussions took place. Topics such as the future of blockchain technology, Web3 applications and decentralized finance (DeFi) were discussed. Participants agreed on strategies to make America a global leader in cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.
Bitcoin Exceeds $100,000
Just before the Trump Crypto Ball, the value of Bitcoin rose above $100,000. This increase is considered to be a result of Trump’s supportive attitude towards cryptocurrencies. New regulations have increased the confidence of both individual and institutional investors in the sector.
In addition, Trump’s plans to make crypto a national priority include innovative steps such as creating a crypto advisory council and tax incentives. These policies aim to create an infrastructure that will reinforce the US’s technology leadership while revitalizing the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
