Donald Trump took office as the 47th U.S. president on Monday, delivering an inaugural address that excluded any mention of digital assets. His first-day executive actions also omitted cryptocurrency policies despite earlier reports suggesting he might prioritize crypto with measures like establishing a crypto council or addressing crypto de-banking. Trump signed several executive orders following his inauguration but omitted crypto or a Bitcoin reserve. The White House touted Trump’s “America First Priorities,” which focus on energy independence, public safety, and government reform, with no explicit crypto initiatives mentioned. Bitcoin dropped nearly 6% from its record high of $109,000 after the inauguration, while Trump-related memecoins faced steep losses.
