Speaking on Monday with CNBC, Eric Trump emphasized the need for “sensible” regulations to foster innovation while maintaining transparency. He stated that his father intends to “make America the crypto capital of the world” upon taking office in January. This aligns with the president-elect’s campaign pledge to position the U.S. as a key player in the cryptocurrency sector.

Trump’s remarks follow bitcoin’s recent milestone, surpassing $100,000 for the first time before retreating slightly. Highlighting the growth of decentralized finance (defi) and its role in modern finance, Trump criticized the U.S. for lagging behind countries like the UAE in crypto adoption. “I think America will be the crypto capital of the world. I fully support it. My father fully supports it,” he added.

The incoming administration’s regulatory plans aim to clarify guidelines for the industry. Paul Atkins, a known advocate for cryptocurrency, has been tapped to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), signaling a departure from what the crypto community viewed as overregulation under Gary Gensler‘s current leadership.

Eric Trump stressed the importance of embracing digital finance while adhering to the principles of transparency. He also acknowledged the industry’s acceptance of regulation if it ensures predictability and fairness. The President-elect’s son stressed:

The modern banking system is antiquated. It’s just a matter of time before crypto not only catches up, but just really leaps ahead. And so, we’re incredibly excited on a lot of fronts.

With these measures, the Trump administration seeks to position the U.S. as a leading hub for innovation, potentially reshaping the global financial landscape through strategic investments in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
