Golden Finance reports that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has taken office, and the series of cryptocurrency supporters and holders promoted by him will soon affect U.S. encryption policy. The crypto industry has been battling lawsuits and enforcement actions by the U.S. government for years and is banking on the incoming Trump administration to bring about a shift in policy. Politicians appointed by Trump will be scrutinized for potential conflicts of interest with the crypto industry, and some have pledged to sell their holdings.
