After taking office on Jan. 20, some in the crypto industry are still questioning whether the US president intends to follow through with many of his promises. His inauguration speech did not include digital assets or blockchain, his administration's list of policy priorities failed to mention crypto, and he had not issued any executive orders potentially impacting the industry at the time of publication.
