Trump’s crypto conflicts, explained

from Decoded by POLITICO Hosted by POLITICO

Vice President JD Vance told a crypto conference this week that the industry “finally has a champion and an ally in the White House.” And, he’s right. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has largely reversed the industry’s fortunes in Washington. But the industry’s fortunes are now Trump’s fortunes, as the president and his family plunge deeper into the digital currency business. That’s starting to concern some Republicans and crypto lobbyists pushing the industry’s agenda. On POLITICO Tech, POLITICO capital markets reporter Declan Harty joins host Steven Overly to explain why. Steven Overly is the host of POLITICO Tech and covers the intersection of politics and technology. Declan Harty covers U.S. capital markets and regulation of Wall Street for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy and producer of POLITICO Tech.
