Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The price of bitcoin surged to over $109,000 early Monday, just hours ahead of President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration, as a pumped-up cryptocurrency industry bets he’ll take action soon after returning to the White House.<\/b><\/p>\n

Once a sceptic who said a few years ago that Bitcoin \u201c seems like a scam,\u201d Trump has embraced digital currencies with a convert\u2019s zeal. He’s launched a new cryptocurrency venture and vowed on the campaign trail to take steps early in his presidency to make the U.S. into the \u201ccrypto capital\u201d of the world.<\/p>\n

His promises included creating a U.S. crypto stockpile, enacting industry-friendly regulation and event appointing a crypto \u201cczar\u201d for his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to be very happy with me,\u201d Trump told crypto-enthusiasts at a Bitcoin conference last summer.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is the world\u2019s most popular cryptocurrency and was created in 2009 as a kind of electronic cash uncontrolled by banks or governments. It and newer forms of cryptocurrencies have moved from the financial fringes to the mainstream in wild fits and starts.<\/p>\n

The highly volatile nature of cryptocurrencies as well as their use by criminals, scammers and rogue nations, has attracted plenty of critics, who say the digital currencies have limited utility and often are just Ponzi schemes.<\/p>\n

But crypto has so far defied naysayers and survived multiple prolonged price drops in its short lifespan. Wealthy players in the crypto industry, which felt unfairly targeted by the Biden administration, spent heavily to help Trump win November\u2019s election. Bitcoin has surged in price since Trump’s victory, topping $100,000 for the first time last month before briefly sliding down to about $90,000. On Friday, it rose about 5%. It jumped more than $9,000 early Monday, according to CoinDesk.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, bitcoin was trading at about $20,000.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s picks for key cabinet and regulatory positions are stocked with crypto supporters, including his choice to lead the Treasury and Commerce departments and the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

Key industry players held a first-ever “Crypto Ball\u201d on Friday to celebrate the first \u201ccrypto president.” The event was sold out, with tickets costing several thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at some detailed actions Trump might take in the early days of his administration:<\/p>\n

CRYPTO COUNCIL<\/b><\/p>\n

As a candidate, Trump promised that he would create a special advisory council to provide guidance on creating \u201cclear\u201d and \u201cstraightforward\u201d regulations on crypto within the first 100 days of his presidency.<\/p>\n

Details about the council and its membership are still unclear, but after winning November\u2019s election, Trump named tech executive and venture capitalist David Sacks to be the administration\u2019s crypto \u201cczar.\u201d Trump also announced in late December that former North Carolina congressional candidate Bo Hines will be the executive director of the \u201cPresidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s Bitcoin conference, Trump told crypto supporters that new regulations \u201cwill be written by people who love your industry, not hate your industry.\u201d Trump’s pick to lead the SEC, Paul Atkins, has been a strong advocate for cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Crypto investors and companies chafed as what they said was a hostile Biden administration that went overboard in unfair enforcement actions and accounting policies that have stifled innovation in the industry \u2014 particularly at the hands of outgoing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as general expectations from the Trump Administration, I think one of the best things to bet on is a tone change at the SEC,\u201d said Peter Van Valkenburgh, the executive director of the advocacy group Coin Center.<\/p>\n

Gensler, who is set to leave as Trump takes office, said in a recent interview with Bloomberg that he\u2019s proud of his office\u2019s actions to police the crypto industry, which he said is \u201crife with bad actors.\u201d<\/p>\n

STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE<\/b><\/p>\n

Trump also promised that as president he\u2019ll ensure the U.S. government stockpiles bitcoin, much like it already does with gold. At the Bitcoin conference earlier this summer, Trump said it the U.S. government would keep, rather than auction off, the billions of dollars in Bitcoin it has seized through law enforcement actions.<\/p>\n

Crypto advocates have posted a draft executive order online that would establish a \u201cStrategic Bitcoin Reserve\u201d as a \u201cpermanent national asset\u201d to be administered by the Treasury Department through its Exchange Stabilization Fund. The draft order calls for the Treasury Department to eventually hold at least $21 billion in bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has proposed legislation mandating the U.S. government stockpile bitcoin, which advocates said would help diversify government holdings and hedge against financial risks. Critics say Bitcoin\u2019s volatility makes it a poor choice as a reserve asset.<\/p>\n

Creating such a stockpile would also be a \u201cgiant step in the direction of Bitcoin becoming normalized, becoming legitimatized in the eyes of people who don\u2019t yet see it as legitimate,\u201d said Zack Shapiro, an attorney who is head of policy at the Bitcoin Policy Institute.<\/p>\n

ROSS ULBRICHT<\/b><\/p>\n

At the Bitcoin conference earlier this year, Trump received loud cheers when he reiterated a promise to commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the convicted founder of the drug-selling website Silk Road that used crypto for payments.<\/p>\n

Ulbricht\u2019s case has energized some crypto advocates and Libertarian activists, who believe government investigators overreached in building their case against Silk Road.<\/p>\n
