Simon Dixon, a cryptocurrency investor and influencer, said that former President Donald Trump will leverage his presidential power to advocate for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the United States. Dixon made this statement in a January 19 post on X.
"Trump will 100% use his presidential influence to push $BTC & crypto in the US now," said Dixon, crypto investor and influencer.
President Trump has pledged to transform the United States into the "crypto capital of the planet" by introducing supportive policies and creating a national Bitcoin reserve. He declared, "Instead of attacking industries of the future, we will embrace them, including making America the world capital of crypto and Bitcoin." According to Cointelegraph, this marks a departure from earlier regulatory strategies, aiming to promote innovation and establish U.S. leadership in the cryptocurrency sector.

The potential appointments of Paul Atkins as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and David Sacks as Crypto Czar by Trump could signal changes in U.S. crypto regulation. If confirmed, Atkins, known for his pro-innovation stance, may implement a lighter regulatory framework compared to previous stricter SEC leadership such as Gary Gensler. Sacks, with his background in venture capital and technology, could help shape U.S. crypto policy, according to Crypto Briefing.
A crypto inauguration ball was held to mark Trump's 2025 inauguration at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., with executives from companies such as Crypto.com, Kraken, and Exodus in attendance.

Industry leaders, policymakers, and influencers gathered to discuss the future of cryptocurrencies under the new administration. Attendees participated in discussions and networking opportunities, emphasizing the growing influence of digital assets in the U.S. economy and beyond, according to Reuters.
Dixon has invested in over 100 crypto companies including Kraken and Coinbase. He creates cryptocurrency content on X and YouTube and is also CEO and co-founder of BnkToTheFuture, a regulated crypto securities business.
