The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

“The cryptographic community has been almost libertarian and apolitical for a while,” said my source linked to donors space. But as the company grew up under the Biden administration, more regulations by application have occurred – the Securities and Exchange Commission, or dry, brought at least 83 actions related to the crypto, engaging in prosecution against companies like Coinbase and Kraken, according to Reuters, arguing that their products should be regulated “An animation of animation” of the White House which pushed them into the executives of Trump. (Months after the start of the second Trump administration, these proceedings were rejected.))

However, Trumpworld’s sources and on the blockchain side of the equation tell me that crypto donors have become impatient with the country’s return on investment, which came to just under 250 million dollars collected by CAPs and super pac related to the crypto and Super PAC at the end and the end. Obtain their favorite parties from the Act on Engineering and the Clarity Act above the line, especially what they considered more favorable regulations under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, rather than dry – an opportunity to take advantage.

This is where Coinbase and A16z were involved. The two companies have key links on Trump’s orbit-in particular, respectively, Chris Lacivita, the former co-camp director of 2024, works on the global advisory advice of Coinbase, while A16z is co-founded by Marc Andreessen, the Silicon Valley Billionaire and the Cocreath of the modern web developer, which mainly influenced the vice-president. These power players wanted to effectively merge the bill on stables with the more ambitious and broader clarity law, according to two sources familiar with the procedure.

Coinbase specifically rocked feathers at the Gop Chamber Conference, said another republican agent of Trumpworld. “It was one of these things with it, if you are going to throw your weight … at the end of the day, they lost two weeks from the legislative calendar by slowing down everything.”

Another point of snack, said the senior administration and the company of the GOP, is around Coinbase, which seems too friendly with the Democrats after bringing David Plouffe, the former strategist of Obama and Harris, to join the global advisory council of organization in addition to Lacivita and others.

Even if many industries depend on the maintenance of relations with the legislators in both parties, Trumpworld has become more and more wary of any perception of camaraderie between the cryptographic crowd and the Democrats, Plouffe being the most important example.

“If [Democrats] Take power, you do not get shit, “explains the source of the senior administration,” and all your bets are wasted. »»

Trumpworld’s message to the cryptographic community before the next phase of the legislation is simple: playing by our rules, or good luck, obtaining anything from a possible future congress controlled by Democrat and the White House.

“These guys just need to understand that if they stick to us, they have a good chance of success – the highlighting against us will almost guarantee failure,” said the source of the administration.

“And they should not play both sides beyond obtaining the strict minimum of democratic votes on the legislation … they should wake up.”

Under all quarrels are the substance of the legislation – even if the legislative gambit had succeeded, he may have finally returned against him. “It’s about paying attention to what you want,” said James Angel, a finance professor at Georgetown University. “The problem with the Clarity Act is this huge lack of clarity that it really gives us.” We still do not know where the CFTC authority ends and the SEC begins under the proposed law, according to Angel.

And in any case, he says, the evangelists should not be surprised if the CFTC finally retracts the crypto.

Regarding the harsh and the sentence of obtaining legislation by the congress, the source of the senior administration says that it is a welcome moment for the cryptographic community.

“Welcome to the congress,” said the manager. “You are just one of the many who have been chewed and spitting.”
