In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order to create a "cryptocurrency strategy reserve." This reserve includes five cryptocurrency: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA. BTC and ETH are the core reserves.

On January 20, 2025, Trump successfully pushed out the former SEC chairman, Gary Gensler. On April 10, 2025, Paul's Atkins was confirmed as the new SEC chairman. On April 11, Trump signed a bill to repeal the IRS DeFi cryptocurrency broker rules.
