ChainCatcher news, 21Shares' crypto research strategist Matt Mena expects that crypto investors will exhibit "front-running" behavior before Trump's inauguration in January next year, similar to the situation before the U.S. presidential election in November. At that time, investors drove up crypto prices due to excitement over Trump's eventual victory, and this early activity could generate the momentum needed to break through the $100,000 mark.Analysis suggests that investors have high expectations for Trump's second term, as the incoming president has previously expressed public support for cryptocurrencies and hinted at the possibility of creating a national Bitcoin reserve, and is reportedly screening candidates for White House positions related to cryptocurrencies.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the nonprofit cryptocurrency advocacy organization Coin Center warns that while a Trump victory would be good for the cryptocurrency industry, entrenched policies could still scare away American cryptocurrency innovators.Coin Center's research director Van Valkenburgh analyzed the prospects for U.S. crypto policy after the 2024 election in an article and shared three major "serious threats" facing U.S. crypto users and developers in 2025. One major threat comes from the cryptocurrency reporting requirements set forth in U.S. tax code Section 6050I, which mandates that individuals receiving more than $10,000 in cryptocurrency report it to the IRS without a license. The second and third major threats stem from sanctions imposed on Tornado Cash, including unlicensed remittance criminal charges against mixing services and Samourai Wallet.

ChainCatcher news, according to Coinfomania, the cryptocurrency community in Nigeria has expressed appreciation for the newly introduced European regulation on the crypto asset market (MiCA), particularly its provisions regarding stablecoins. They believe these regulations are beneficial and emphasize the importance of aligning crypto projects with local interests to protect the national currency.In a recent conversation, Nigerian data and policy analyst Obinna Uzoije discussed the potential lessons that the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) could learn from Europe’s MiCA. Uzoije stated that stablecoins are currently the most widely used crypto assets, especially in Africa, where the trading volume of stablecoins surpasses that of any other form of digital assets.Uzoije believes that a unified regulatory framework would provide much-needed clarity for potential cryptocurrency investors by simplifying the investment process across different countries and eliminating the need to understand various national regulations. This clarity could reduce regulatory uncertainty, making the ECOWAS region more attractive to investors, as regulatory uncertainty is a major global barrier to cryptocurrency investment.
