In the conversation, Leon describes how the previous administration was very hostile towards the crypto industry, and how Trump has helped shift the focus in Washington.He points to new initiatives for digital assets, changes in the SEC leadership and the appointment of a “crypto czar” as signs of an ambition to make the United States a leading crypto nation.
Leon also notes the more critical side of the story, mentioning Trump‑related meme coins, tariff threats and the fact that Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana have fallen in price.
These points are part of his analysis of how Trump’s actions and communication can create both enthusiasm and uncertainty in the market.
Morten adds a cautious perspective based on Trump’s long business history.He underlines that many who have done business with Trump over the past 30–40 years have eventually been hurt, and raises questions about what this means for trust and long‑term credibility around Trump’s crypto agenda.
Together, Leon and Morten offer a nuanced discussion of Trump’s impact on crypto – combining observations about policy and regulation with reflections on risk, volatility and trust.The segment is meant as analysis, helping viewers think through what Trump’s role could mean for investors, companies and markets going forward.
