In a recent speech at the FII Priority Summit in Miami, former President Donald Trump declared the end of what he called the "war against bitcoin and cryptocurrencies" by the Biden administration. He pledged to make the United States a global leader in digital currency innovation, emphasizing the commitment to strengthen the country's role in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape. Trump declares the United States as the center of the future cryptocurrency Speaking at a meeting of global business figures and foreign dignitaries, Trump positioned his administration as a driving force for promoting US dominance in the digital asset space. He declared that his leadership would transform the US into the "world's cryptocurrency capital," pointing to recent record-breaking performances of bitcoin as an indicator of market confidence in his economic vision. He acknowledged that the post-election period has revived the national economy, attributing this resurgence to his policies. "Since the [November] election, the economic engines of the United States have quickly roared back to life," Trump declared. He emphasized the nearly 10% increase in Nasdaq along with numerous record highs of bitcoin, reinforcing his argument that the financial market has positively responded to his leadership. Economic policies and non-regulatory measures Trump praised Miami as a strong center for cryptocurrency innovation and alluded to the possibility of easing regulations to attract more investment into the blockchain. He described the city as the "center of action" for digital assets and expressed intentions to create a favorable business environment for this sector. An important initiative mentioned in his speech is the newly established Government Efficiency Office (DOGE), an entity designed to limit unnecessary spending. Trump acknowledged tech entrepreneur Elon Musk for leading this effort, citing his intelligence and technological expertise. According to Trump, the department is currently generating savings, with the intention of allocating 20% of that amount to aid taxpayers and reduce national debt. 'We are saving billions of dollars every day,' he asserted. Although not detailing specific strategies, he believes this initiative aligns with his broader goal of promoting a more business-friendly environment, especially for cryptocurrency projects. Criticism of Biden's Policies and Legal Framework Trump took this opportunity to criticize policies enacted under the Biden administration, claiming that excessive regulations and high inflation have hindered technological progress. He positioned his approach as a clear contrast, emphasizing measures such as freezing government hiring and cutting foreign aid, which he sees as steps towards a new era of economic prosperity. International aid programs are also closely monitored, with Trump arguing that such expenditures should be redirected to domestic priorities. His remarks have resonated with attendees, including Saudi officials and top tech executives, who have reacted positively to his pro-cryptocurrency stance.

Among them, he emphasized, cryptocurrency. His remarks reinforced the idea that his administration will play an active role in shaping the future of the industry, ensuring that the U.S. remains a dominant player in the rapidly growing digital asset market.
