In a recent move, President Trump signed an executive order backing the growth of the cryptocurrency industry. The order calls for a new plan to regulate this business sector, where Trump has personal investments. The order suggests creating a working group to develop comprehensive regulatory and legislative proposals. It also considers starting a national cryptocurrency stockpile, something the industry has long been pushing for. “Digital assets are vital for innovation and the economy, ” the order stated. “So, we should encourage their responsible use and growth. ” Interestingly, Trump and his family have been involved in the crypto scene. They helped launch World Liberty Financial, offering a digital currency named WLFI. Recently, Trump and his wife started selling memecoins, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by jokes or famous figures. Some experts worry about potential conflicts of interest since Trump has a significant stake in the crypto industry. They argue that his support might be driven by personal gains rather than purely for the nation's benefit.
