Donald Trump’s 2024 election win could set the stage for a sweeping policy overhaul, fueled by ambitious plans to make the United States the crypto capital of the world. From a potential national Bitcoin reserve to pro-crypto regulatory leadership, the sector is gearing up for a transformative period.

With a Republican-controlled Congress, and big industry support and campaign contributions in the 2024 election, the stakes are set for dramatic changes in crypto policy and the overall crypto landscape.

In this episode of the TechTank Podcast, co-host Darrell West is joined by Aaron Klein, a senior fellow in the Center on Regulation and Markets at Brookings, to discuss the feasibility of reaching what may be the new administration’s crypto goals.
