Optimism for U.S. Crypto Regulation Under Trump

In an interview , Crypto.com’s President and COO, Eric Anziani, said a wave of optimism about the future of the crypto space in the U.S. was evident.

The manager pointed out that with the new administration in place, there’s a palpable shift toward a more pro-business environment, one that will likely have a lasting impact on the crypto market.

According to Anziani, this sentiment has already begun to show in the market’s uptick since November.

“I think we’re seeing a very pro-business new administration now in place, and I think that’s also reflected in the market and the price,” he said.

Anziani expressed confidence that greater clarity would soon emerge regarding regulations for key areas like stablecoins and trading, which have been at the forefront of ongoing discussions.

“We are expecting to have better clarity in terms of the rules—whether for trading or for stablecoins—and there are a lot of discussions. We are actively participating in those.”

Crypto.com’s COO believes these changes will set the stage for what he described as the “new golden age of crypto” in the U.S. as the country seeks to regain leadership in digital assets.

Bitcoin’s Long-Term Potential Amid Short-Term Volatility

When asked about the future of Bitcoin, Anziani reiterated his long-term belief in blockchain technology, particularly Bitcoin, as an asset with great potential for value storage.

“I’m a long-term believer in blockchain technology and Bitcoin in particular,” he said.

While acknowledging the short-term volatility due to macroeconomic factors like inflation, he remains confident that large institutional players will continue to see Bitcoin as a valuable asset.

“You can see most of the large players in the world today, whether they are large asset managers like BlackRock, Fidelity, or Franklin Templeton, are all investing. They are offering products for their consumers. They recommend allocation in Bitcoin—3 to 5% in people’s portfolios.”

Looking ahead, the exchange remains bullish on Bitcoin’s and the broader crypto market‘s long-term prospects. But it also recognized that volatility will likely persist in the short term.

For Anziani, short-term volatility is expected, especially as the macro environment remains uncertain and inflation, particularly in the U.S.

However, as institutional adoption grows and regulatory clarity improves, the outlook for crypto, particularly Bitcoin, is increasingly positive.

The Future of Sports and Gaming Contracts

Beyond the regulatory environment, Crypto.com continues to see potential in the sports sector. The company has established high-profile partnerships , including those associated with the Super Bowl.

While some of these partnerships have come under regulatory scrutiny, particularly in sports gaming, Crypto.com remains committed to innovation.

“We wanted to bring proper financial contracts to what we call prediction market or event contracts environment,” Anziani said.

“I think it gives a lot more protection for consumers. They can enter a contract, exit it, and hedge it, which is much better than when you see traditional gaming.”

Crypto.com is working closely with regulators, including the CFTC and stakeholders in sports leagues. This is to ensure that these initiatives are compliant while moving the industry forward.
