The cryptocurrency industry is seeing immediate returns on its investment in Donald Trump's presidency, with major policy shifts and regulatory changes marking his first week in office.

Bitcoin traded around $105,000 by week's end, after hitting a record high of approximately $109,000 on Monday. Meanwhile, major Wall Street banks indicated they're preparing to expand their crypto offerings under the new regulatory framework.

"I don't think they could have imagined a better outcome than they just got in the past 48 hours," Benchmark's Bill Gurley told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Friday, referring to the crypto industry's support of Trump.

Executive Order Reshapes Crypto Landscape

On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order calling on Treasury, SEC, and CFTC officials to join forces in evaluating the potential of stockpiling seized cryptocurrencies. The order outlined priorities including protecting bitcoin miners and software developers from what the president termed "persecution," while promoting U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins and banning a digital dollar from the Federal Reserve.

The SEC followed with a landmark announcement, withdrawing SAB 121, an accounting rule that had made institutional crypto adoption more difficult by forcing banks to treat bitcoin and other tokens as liabilities on their balance sheets.

Wall Street Response

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon told CNBC in Davos that his bank would revisit crypto ownership now that regulations are changing. The CEOs of Morgan Stanley and Bank of America also indicated that Trump's pro-crypto stance could reshape their digital offerings plans.

"You have to remember, the last four years, we really felt like we were being attacked by this administration," Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in Davos, criticizing the Biden White House's approach to crypto regulation.

But there’s one coin he thinks could go even higher. It’s part of Trump’s special Project Crypto. His plan to make America “the crypto capital of the planet.” This could be his favorite coin.

And it’s definitely one of his vice president’s favorite. Click here to find out more about the coin that makes more than Bitcoin in the 2025 bull market.

Meme Coin Controversy

Not all of Trump's crypto-related actions have received universal praise. The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins drew criticism from industry experts and lawmakers alike.

"Call me old fashioned but I think presidents should focus on running the country and not launching scam tokens," wrote Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures on X.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jake Auchincloss raised concerns in a letter about the first couple using their positions for enrichment, noting the potential for "rug-pull" scams.

China's AI Challenge

As the U.S. reshapes its crypto policy, a small Chinese AI company called DeepSeek has emerged as a surprising challenger to American tech dominance. The company shocked Silicon Valley by releasing its R1 model with detailed technical specifications, accomplishing significant results with limited resources.

DeepSeek claimed it used just 2,048 Nvidia H800s and $5.6 million to train a model with 671 billion parameters, far less than what U.S. companies typically spend on comparable models.

Looking Ahead

Industry observers are watching several key developments, including the new SEC crypto task force led by Commissioner Hester Peirce and the working group's evaluation of a potential crypto reserve.

Meanwhile, OpenAI announced plans for a joint venture with Japan's SoftBank, dubbed Stargate, planning to spend at least $100 billion on AI infrastructure in the U.S., while Elon Musk's xAI expands its Colossus supercomputer.

With bitcoin up more than 50% since Trump's November election victory, markets appear to be embracing the administration's pro-crypto stance. However, questions remain about how the U.S. will maintain its technological edge as Chinese companies like DeepSeek demonstrate increasing capabilities in artificial intelligence.
