Highlights from the LinkedIn Article
In his article, Öncü outlines three pivotal developments in the first 100 days of Trump's presidency that signal a robust embrace of cryptocurrency:​
Pro-Crypto Executive Order (21 January 2025): President Trump signed an executive order declaring digital assets as strategic to U.S. national competitiveness. This directive aims to streamline crypto regulations and support private sector adoption.​

Establishment of a Digital Asset Reserve (15 February 2025): The U.S. Treasury announced the creation of a national digital asset reserve to hold Bitcoin and select stablecoins. This move is designed to provide liquidity support and economic resilience.​

Digital Asset Clarity & Innovation Act (22 March 2025): Congress passed, and President Trump signed into law, the first federal legislation providing a comprehensive framework for cryptocurrencies. This act defines digital assets, clarifies tax treatments, sets licensing rules, and protects consumer rights.​

Öncü argues that these developments not only solidify the U.S.'s position in the digital asset space but also set a precedent for other nations. He suggests that clear regulatory frameworks can accelerate mainstream merchant adoption and consumer trust worldwide.
