As weve all noticed, its Trump causing a lot of hype in the market lately. People are speculating that he might introduce crypto-friendly policies, and of course, he probably has his own intentions, like promoting his coin.
But once this hype fades, I wonder who could be the next president to have such a huge impact on the crypto community. Someone who could spark bullish speculation like what were experiencing now. Itll likely be a leader with a strong stance on blockchain innovation, maybe someone who openly supports decentralized systems or sees crypto as a tool for economic growth. Any guesses?
The next impactful president isn't necessarily pro-crypto right now. Trump was sceptical toward Bitcoin, he was quite anti-crypto before his election campaign. Someone mentioned Xi here, and I'd say it's possible, but only if China sees a direct benefit which outweighs the risk of giving more freedom to people living under autocracy. My guess is that adoption in special regions but not in mainland China will continue to be the strategy.
To be impactful, you also need to be the President of an influential country and a country with a strong economy. So we could look at Germany, France, the UK, and India. The EU already has its crypto legislation, and I don't think they have reasons to shift; the UK seems to have a crisis of PMs who tend to change too quickly lately. That leaves India and their PM (because this person seems to have more power in India) Modi. That seems possible, as his remarks on cryptos have been
cautious rather than outright negative.
