As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in global finance and politics, I find myself intrigued by Donald Trump’s recent foray into the crypto realm. His latest announcement to position the U.S. as a global crypto hotspot, if elected, is reminiscent of his past business ventures – ambitious, audacious, and potentially game-changing.
If re-elected, former President Donald Trump expressed plans to make the United States a leading hub for cryptocurrencies on a global scale.
On August 29th, Trump declared his intention to present a strategy aimed at making America the leading global hub for cryptocurrencies, given their growing importance in U.S. political campaigns. A related post from Trump’s account also highlighted the World Liberty Financial project, an initiative led by his sons, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump.
At the point when reporters were working, specifics concerning the project were limited, yet whispers hint that its focus centers on tangible assets and their tokenization.
In addition to the Trump sons, there have been warnings issued within the official Telegram group (with more than 53,000 members) about potential scams and impostors regarding the project, known as World LibertyFi. As of now, it remains unclear to what extent Trump is connected to this initiative or what specific goals World LibertyFi intends to accomplish.

Donald Trump’s crypto shift
At a gathering in May, Donald Trump positioned himself as an advocate for the industry and began making supportive comments about cryptocurrency, aiming to garner votes from the web3 community.
At the Bitcoin (BTC) 2024 conference in July, Trump maintained his optimistic stance. As a potential Republican candidate, he pledged to establish a specialized Bitcoin reserve and replace Gary Gensler, the present Securities and Exchange Commission chairman.
Lately, the likelihood of Trump’s victory versus Kamala Harris, the potential Democratic nominee for president, has gone up and down. However, it appears that the cryptocurrency world tends to favor Trump and his proposed policies.
Additionally, a Bitcoin bill put forward by Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming seems to be gaining momentum in the Senate. Similar to Trump’s plan, Lummis’ suggestion involves utilizing America’s existing reserves and employing Gold certificates for a 20-year period of Bitcoin holding (HODL).
At the Wyoming blockchain conference, Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming discussed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Plan currently under consideration in the Senate in 2025. She explained that the plan involves converting our Gold Certificates into their current market value, selling them for U.S. dollars, and then investing those dollars into Bitcoin.
