Crypto News Roundup: Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve, Market Moves, and Regulatory Shakeups

Big news: President Trump just signed an executive order creating a government Bitcoin reserve, keeping over 200,000 seized

BTC as a 'digital Fort Knox.' Trump’s crypto czar called it a major step for mainstream acceptance, and

the order even allows the government to acquire more Bitcoin.

Trump, once a skeptic, is now all-in on crypto, even hosting a White House 'Crypto Summit.' The Trump

family’s crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, is making headlines after a $2 billion investment from a UAE firm

and a $20 million coin purchase by a logistics company.

Critics question if the White House is 'for sale,' while Trump’s sons are actively involved.

Lawmakers are now pushing to ban presidents from profiting off stablecoins, with one senator warning, 'Passing the GENIUS

Act without our anti-corruption amendment stamps a Congressional seal of approval on Trump selling access.' Bitcoin hit a

new all-time high above $109,000 before dropping back, while Ethereum also saw gains.

But Trump’s new tariffs and global trade tensions have triggered volatility, with experts saying, 'People have given up

on a major recovery in crypto in the first half of the year.' Still, long-term holders remain confident,

and some analysts see Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.

The CFTC may soon allow crypto perpetual futures in the U.S., and major exchanges like Bitget, Crypto.com, and

Kraken are expanding globally with new licenses.

Meanwhile, the SEC is cracking down on fraud, charging Unicoin with a $100 million scheme.

Robinhood is also pushing for new rules to make trading real-world assets as tokens easier and safer.

New Hampshire just became the first state to let its treasury buy Bitcoin, aiming to become the 'granite

cradle of crypto.' This move is part of a broader push by libertarian lawmakers to attract crypto businesses

and transform the state’s economy.
