Kris Marszalek joins industry leaders advocating for favorable crypto policies under President-elect Trump.
Crypto Leaders Engage with Trump Administration
Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, recently met President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, signaling increased crypto-industry influence in shaping US policies. Discussions reportedly focused on regulatory appointments and the Bitcoin reserve.
Advancing Crypto Regulations
Crypto.com expressed optimism about working with the new administration, aiming to position the US as a leader in digital assets. “We look forward to developing clear regulations to advance innovation,” a company spokesperson stated.
Trump’s Crypto-Friendly Moves
Trump has already appointed crypto advocates, such as Howard Lutnick as commerce secretary and Paul Atkins for the SEC. Venture capitalist David Sacks, known for his views on crypto and AI, will serve as an advisor, further aligning the administration with digital asset development.
Legal Battles and Collaboration
Marszalek’s meeting comes amid Crypto.com’s ongoing lawsuit against the SEC over enforcement actions. Other crypto giants like Coinbase have also clashed with the regulator but noted progress in fostering dialogue with Trump’s team.
Trump’s Crypto Ventures
The Trump family’s DeFi project, World Liberty Financial, launched in September, recently received $30 million from entrepreneur Justin Sun, underlining the administration’s growing ties with the crypto sector.
