Crypto Absent From Executive OrdersIn related news, President Trump's first-day executive orders did not address cryptocurrency, focusing instead on immigration reforms, energy policies, and federal restructuring.

This omission came as a surprise to many in the crypto industry, who had anticipated actions prioritizing digital assets.

Prior to the inauguration, rumors circulated about bold initiatives, such as establishing a national Bitcoin reserve or issuing industry-related pardons. However, these anticipated measures did not materialize.

Trump's inaugural speech also made no mention of cryptocurrency, leaving industry stakeholders to await further developments.

Despite the absence of executive actions on digital assets, the crypto community expressed excitement over World Liberty Financial's acquisitions of Bitcoin and other crypto assets following the inauguration, viewing it as a positive sign.
