Trump’s Crypto Revolution: How Regulatory Winds Are Shifting in Favor of Digital Assets

Washington shakes as Trump administration unveils crypto-friendly regulatory framework—traders cheer while Wall Street scrambles to adapt.

The New Rules of Engagement

Regulatory barriers crumble as the administration pushes for clearer digital asset classifications. Exchanges breathe easier with streamlined compliance requirements—no more guessing games about securities laws.

Market Momentum Builds

Trading volumes spike 40% following the announcement. Bitcoin reclaims $100K while altcoins rally across the board. Institutional money floods in—hedge funds finally waking up to what retail investors knew years ago.

Global Implications

Other nations now face pressure to match US regulatory clarity. Singapore and EU regulators already scheduling emergency meetings—nobody wants to be left behind in the digital gold rush.

Wall Street's reluctant embrace proves even traditional finance can't ignore real innovation forever—though they'll still find ways to charge 2% management fees for Bitcoin exposure.

FTX Restitutions

The FTX bankruptcy committee has made returns to various investor groups throughout the year at different intervals. Although the billions in returns were from the prices during the November collapse, leaving investors less satisfied, they are grateful for retrieving their balances from that time. However, these restitutions did not prompt a significant movement in altcoins. Throughout the year, there were other pressing agendas for the crypto world, such as tariffs, that overshadowed the FTX restitutions.

In its announcement today, FTX wrote the following:

“FTX today will distribute approximately $1.6 billion under the Third Distribution to allowed creditors in the Eligible and Ineligible Classes who completed the pre-distribution requirements as of September 30, 2025.

Eligible creditors should expect to receive their funds from their chosen distribution service provider within 1 to 3 business days starting from September 30, 2025.

FTX also reminds its customers to remain cautious of phishing emails appearing to originate from FTX and fraud sites mimicking the FTX Customer Portal.”

Today, FTT increased by 11%. However, despite the terms being clarified for restitutions, FTT, once seen at prices over $4, is now struggling to reclaim the $1 mark. Who WOULD want to acquire the utility token of a bankrupt, or, more accurately, deceitful crypto exchange? Nonetheless, it could be perceived as a meme coin. In fact, even when the price was significantly higher, the FTX bankruptcy committee had considered this asset non-liquid, reminding investors of its potential to drop to zero. Investors who fantasized about its growth are now disappointed.

Altcoin Bull Run

DOGE has slid back to $0.26 and BNB is testing $975. As we MOVE toward the weekend, it’s not an ideal environment for altcoins. Analyst DaanCrypto, who shared the chart showing the Total Altcoin Market Cap, mentioned that breaking the 2021 peak days ago is a good sign.

“However, we haven’t seen a real breakout yet. For this to happen, I want to see a solid weekly candle closing several percent above the all-time high of 2021.”

“The market is currently relatively slow and steady. If we witness ETH reclaim the lead and push beyond its all-time high, maintaining it, I believe the situation will shift.”
