Cryptocurrency Regulation Under Trump: Is It Safer Now?

As Donald Trump prepares to assume office, his promise to make the U.S. a “crypto capital” sparks renewed interest in cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a historic $100,000 in December 2024, and some analysts forecast prices ranging between $78,000 and $250,000 in 2025. However, as the crypto market goes mainstream, concerns about the risks of eased cryptocurrency regulation grow.

What Drives Cryptocurrency Speculation?

Blockchain technology has wide applications, but the dramatic price swings of Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), and meme coins attract the most attention. Many investors are driven by speculative demand rather than the fundamental utility of these assets. Meme coins, in particular, thrive on social media hype and celebrity endorsements, making them prone to volatile price movements with little regard for underlying technology or long-term prospects.

Fuelled by Trump’s pro-crypto stance, major institutions like BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) have entered the crypto market. Institutional backing increases liquidity and legitimacy but also raises the risk of market bubbles similar to the late 1990s dot-com era. The potential for inflated valuations driven by political enthusiasm poses dangers for novice and seasoned investors alike.

Financial Bubbles and Contagion Risks

Financial bubbles occur when prices exceed an asset’s fundamental value. When bubbles burst, the fallout spreads across related markets. Crypto crashes in 2022, including Terra Luna and FTX collapses, highlight the contagion risk. The bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in 2023 underscored how interconnected tech, venture capital, and speculative markets can destabilize banks.

One notable incident was Circle, the issuer of stablecoin USDC, which temporarily lost its dollar peg when SVB collapsed. With $3.3 billion in reserves at SVB, fears of a liquidity crisis caused the depegging. This event illustrated how crypto’s integration with traditional finance increases vulnerabilities, making stronger cryptocurrency regulation crucial for stability.

The Role of Celebrity Influence

Celebrity endorsements have fueled meme coin speculation. Elon Musk’s playful social media antics frequently drive coin prices. Most recently, his name change to “Kekius Maximus” led to a 700% surge in the Kekius token. Social media influencers like Logan Paul have faced scrutiny for undisclosed financial interests in meme coins.

The SEC has investigated celebrities promoting cryptocurrencies without transparency, raising concerns about pump-and-dump schemes. These schemes artificially inflate prices before insiders sell at a profit, leaving retail investors with losses. Despite the SEC’s efforts under former chair Gary Gensler, Trump’s potential appointment of Paul Atkins, a crypto advocate, raises questions about future enforcement.

The Paradox of Crypto and Financial Freedom

Cryptocurrency’s promise lies in decentralization and financial independence. Yet, paradoxically, many investors rely on influencers rather than informed research. Market crashes, like the one in 2022, left countless retail investors devastated, highlighting the need for protective regulations even as the sector touts liberty.

Relaxing cryptocurrency regulation may boost short-term gains but threatens long-term stability. Political support could lead to under-regulated markets prone to manipulation, undermining public trust and the very decentralization ethos that draws people to crypto.

Conclusion

The crypto market’s mainstream acceptance comes with opportunities and risks. Under Trump, easing cryptocurrency regulation may spur innovation but also magnify dangers. Investors must weigh potential gains against the need for safeguards to avoid repeating past bubbles and crashes. Strong, balanced oversight is essential to protect consumers while fostering a sustainable, transparent crypto economy.

Ultimately, the future of cryptocurrency depends on achieving a delicate balance between innovation and regulation. While relaxed oversight may attract more institutional investment and boost adoption, it also risks opening the door to fraud, market manipulation, and unchecked volatility. Investors must remain vigilant, diversify portfolios, and prioritize research over hype.

ARMswap Launches its DeFi Platform

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Jan. 13, 2025 /CNW/ — The ARMswap team is thrilled to announce the launch of its 1st version of its DeFi protocol. The web3 world is booming with numerous layer-1 and layer-2 blockchains, each having their unique algorithms and capabilities. However, their closed architecture hinders seamless interaction and information flow between networks, creating inefficiencies. ARMswap’s launch addresses this fundamental inefficiency in the current blockchain architecture and introduces a more optimized version of the multi-directional cross-chain swaps and bridges.



Simplifying Cross-Chain Transactions

“The fragmentation of blockchain networks has been a critical issue, and users were compelled to navigate through various DEXs and third-party bridges to perform a single cross-chain transaction,” notes the CTO of ARMswap. “ARMswap’s launch represents a watershed moment in addressing this fragmentation that has constrained Defi’s evolution.”

ARMswap’s architecture, validated through rigorous security audits by the leading Blockchain security firm Hashlock, combines advanced cryptographic protection for user funds. ARMswap’s protocol delivers secure and rapid swap/bridge operations, setting new industry benchmarks for transaction processing efficiency.

The platform supports 31 blockchains and their native coins in its V1 launch in Jan 2025, with plans for expansion to include more blockchains every quarter. 

In V2, ARMswap will integrate with protocols like Chainlink, Axelar network, Layer zero, Wormhole, etc., to provide extensive coverage of EVM & non-EVM chains. In V3, Armswap will introduce its own framework for relayers and oracles for seamless interoperability across Web3.

ARMSP Fair Launch

ARMswap is launching its utility token, ARMSP, in Jan 2025, incentivizing liquidity providers to actively participate in the ecosystem and to share platform and pool returns with the platform participants.

ARMswap is also releasing its DeFi Mobile App (IOS & Android) in March 2025, enabling users to connect their existing wallets and perform swap transactions and participate in liquidity pools and rewards.

Limited Supply

Join the ARMswap V1 platform and participate in the ARMSP token Fair Launch on 13th Jan 2025, with a limited supply of 400 million tokens out of 1.25 billion max supplies. Early participants can enjoy bonuses and earn rewards through the ARMswap MVP program. After a 12-month vesting period, ARMSP will be listed on all major exchanges globally.

ARMswap UAB simplifies cross-chain asset transfers and brings the power of Web3 and the de-centralization of blockchains into our daily lives and businesses.

VerifiedX Releases VFX SwitchBlade Wallet Featuring First-Mover Bitcoin Utility at BitMart

TORONTO, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The VerifiedX (VFX) Network, VerifiedX.io, has launched its mainnet non-custodial wallet VFX SwitchBlade, which enables full native Bitcoin functionality. The VFX SwitchBlade also supports a ‘first-mover’ fully decentralized and self custodial Bitcoin Tokenization (Verified Bitcoin) with on-chain native features, enabling real day-to-day utility, while solving current frictions for all Bitcoiners globally today. 

Verified Bitcoin (vBTC) enables anyone the ability to save, spend, withdraw, borrow, lend, mint & transfer media / documents, and vault actual Bitcoin with on-chain recovery features eliminating the need for third-parties or hardware wallets, through a feature rich simple text smart contract. This incredibly unique Bitcoin token provides for enhanced privacy with near-instant transaction finality, all with near-zero fees. Verified Bitcoin tokens are transferable in any denomination completely peer-to-peer, so long as they have a native Bitcoin balance and always maintain a fully decentralized and non-custodial evergreen 1:1 peg. This means that 1 vBTC will always equal 1 BTC and token owners may withdraw their underlying Bitcoin anytime with a ‘one-click’ multisig action or off-ramp the token itself, in whole or in part, at any participatory liquidity provider.

This empowering development will inevitably help provide congestion relief for the Bitcoin network, dramatically reduce Bitcoin holders cost of ownership and transfers, enable media embedding, and increase self-custodial security exponentially, adding immediate utility to holders of the largest digital asset class. It is anticipated that Verified Bitcoin may also help facilitate additional native scarcity with Total Value Vaulted (TVV) over time on VerifiedX Vaults.

VerifiedX – VFX (VerifiedX.IO) is the first open-source decentralized network that is both a universal layer 1 and a Bitcoin specific sidechain for the purpose of tokenized self-custody, on-chain storage, and peer-to-peer commerce of both digital & physical assets.
