President Donald Trump supports the idea of the US government buying one million Bitcoin (BTC), says Senator Cynthia Lummis.

De cryptomarkt blijft zich bewegen in een relatief stabiele zone, met Bitcoin dat rond de 85.000 dollar schommelt. Dit betekent enerzijds consolidatie, maar anderzijds staat de prijs nog altijd 22% lager dan de piek van 109.000 dollar. Tegelijkertijd laten altcoins een lichte opleving zien. Ethereum is weer boven de 2.000 dollar gekomen met een stijging van 7%, terwijl XRP in een week tijd 15% won. De koersstijging van XRP hangt samen met de beslissing van de Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC om af te zien van een hoger beroep in de lopende rechtszaak tegen Ripple. Ondertussen is in de Verenigde Staten een voorstel opnieuw ingediend dat de federale overheid verplicht om op termijn een miljoen bitcoin aan te schaffen. Het initiatief, bekend als de BITCOIN ACT, is afkomstig van senator Cynthia Lummis en congreslid Nick Begich. Eerdere pogingen om de wet aan te nemen strandden, maar met de huidige politieke samenstelling in Washington en de bredere strategische interesse in Bitcoin is de kans op succes mogelijk groter dan voorheen. Het plan voorziet in de aankoop van een miljoen bitcoin over een periode van vijf jaar. Tegen de huidige marktprijs zou dit een investering van ongeveer 85 miljard dollar vergen. Dit bedrag zou echter niet direct uit belastinginkomsten komen, maar via een herwaardering van goud en winsten van de centrale bank worden gefinancierd. Aangezien grootschalige overheidsaankopen doorgaans invloed hebben op de prijs, wordt verwacht dat de kosten van deze operatie in de praktijk aanzienlijk hoger zullen uitvallen. Naast de ontwikkelingen rondom Bitcoin laten nieuwe cijfers zien dat stablecoins steeds populairder worden. USDT en USDC, cryptotokens die aan de Amerikaanse dollar gekoppeld zijn, worden steeds vaker gebruikt als alternatief voor traditionele betaalmethoden. Uit een rapport van Dune en Artemis blijkt dat het aantal gebruikers van stablecoins in een jaar tijd met 53% is gegroeid. Wereldwijd maken inmiddels 30 miljoen mensen regelmatig gebruik van deze digitale dollars. De totale marktwaarde van stablecoins steeg van 138 miljard dollar in 2024 naar 225 miljard dollar in 2025. Een opvallend moment was december 2024, toen in één maand tijd voor 5.100 miljard dollar aan stablecoins werd verhandeld. Stablecoins worden vooral gebruikt in regio’s waar toegang tot stabiele valuta schaars is. In Zuid-Amerika, Afrika en Zuidoost-Azië bieden digitale dollars een alternatief voor zwakke nationale valuta. In plaats van dure wisselkantoren te gebruiken, kunnen mensen via hun smartphone direct toegang krijgen tot dollars. Daarmee hebben stablecoins grotendeels de rol van Bitcoin als betaalmiddel overgenomen. Ze bieden dezelfde voordelen van digitale transacties, maar zonder de volatiliteit van cryptovaluta. Deze week in de CryptocastEen nieuwe aflevering in de Deep Dive-serie, waarin we begrippen in de cryptowereld van A tot Z uitleggen. Dit keer staan we stil bij geld, en of Bitcoin eigenlijk wel geld is. Daar zitten namelijk allerlei economische eisen aan, waar Bitcoin dan niet altijd aan voldoet. Studiogasten zijn Bert Slagter en Veronique Estié. Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Will the 2024 election mark a decisive shift in how U.S. financial regulators approach cryptocurrency and other digital assets? Will the SEC continue its retroactive and reactive regulation, or will it establish clear rules, sensible disclosure frameworks, and targeted enforcement priorities? How will the CFTC balance investor protection, capital formation, market integrity, and innovation? Finally, will the 119th Congress enact comprehensive digital asset legislation, and if so, what form will it take?Join leading experts for a timely discussion on the evolving regulatory landscape and its implications for digital asset markets, innovation, and the broader financial system.Featuring: Hon.

“When the world comes to an end and hell freezes over, there'll be three things left around this place—Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell, and cockroaches.” That was Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., reacting to the news that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 83, is retiring. Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., added, “Senator McConnell has served this nation well as the longest-serving leader in the U.S. Senate, and I wish him well.” McConnell, a seven-term senator, said, “Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime.” While he has not endorsed a successor, candidates are already preparing to enter the race. McConnell will serve out the remainder of his term, which ends in 2026. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

De cryptomarkten blijven deze week stabiel, met Bitcoin rond de 96.000 dollar en Ethereum op 2.700 dollar. Alleen Solana zag een daling van 15 procent. De markt wacht op een uitbraak, maar de richting is nog onduidelijk. In Argentinië woedt een schandaal rond president Milei. Via zijn X-profiel promootte hij de memecoin 'Libra', die naar eigen zeggen ten goede zou komen aan het Argentijnse volk. De munt bereikte snel een marktwaarde van 4 miljard dollar, maar stortte vervolgens in toen de initiatiefnemers voor 100 miljoen dollar aan winst namen. Milei verwijderde zijn tweet en wuifde kritiek weg als politiek opportunisme. Het verhaal kreeg deze week een nieuwe wending toen uit gelekte berichten bleek dat Hayden Davis, CEO van Kelsier Ventures, regelmatig betalingen deed aan Milei's zus Karina, de secretaris-generaal van het Argentijnse presidentschap. Davis, ook bekend van de geflopte Melania-memecoin, zou via deze route invloed hebben gehad op de president. Een federale rechter start nu een onderzoek, terwijl de Argentijnse aandelenmarkt met 5 procent daalde door de onzekerheid rond Milei's positie. In de Verenigde Staten overweegt een groeiend aantal staten de aankoop van Bitcoin. Matthew Sigel van Van Eck telde twintig staten die wetgeving voorbereiden. Als alle voorstellen worden aangenomen, zou dit leiden tot de aankoop van ongeveer 250.000 Bitcoin, ter waarde van 23 miljard dollar. Verschillende wetten zijn echter al afgewezen, waaronder in Wyoming - opmerkelijk gezien de pro-Bitcoin houding van deze staat en senator Cynthia Lummis. Lummis pleit op federaal niveau voor de aankoop van 2,5 miljoen Bitcoin in vijf jaar tijd. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Bert Slagter, over het concept van decentralisatie. In deze tweede Deep Dive gaan we dieper in op het fundament van Bitcoin. Daarbij beginnen we eerst bij decentralisatie in de 'gewone' wereld, en in ons geldsysteem. Waarom zijn veel systemen centraal? En welke voor- en nadelen heeft decentralisatie? Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt.

Today's episode concerns US politics, but I would like to point out two important details: Firstly, it's far more interesting than it sounds, and secondly, we are in a crypto era that is dependent US politics whether we like it or not. So, to start, we'll look at BTC cycle top predictions, before we move into a medley of stories about strategic Bitcoin reserves. Then we'll look at Senator Cynthia Lummis, who claims that whistle-blowers have told her the FDIC has been destroying documents pertaining to Operation Chokepoint 2.0.Further reading:Measly $150K target for Bitcoin this cycle is ‘silly low,' says traderUS Bitcoin reserve has pundits in tailspin as Trump inauguration loomsTexas kicks off 89th legislative session with new strategic Bitcoin reserve billTrump reportedly ‘receptive' to strategic reserve with US-based cryptosSenator Lummis claims FDIC destroyed Operation Chokepoint 2.0 docsRise'n'Crypto is brought to you by Cointelegraph and is hosted and produced by Robert Baggs.

Niet in de laatste plaats bij veel Bitcoiners, die twijfelen of zo'n stap wel leidt tot daadwerkelijk meer adoptie van het wereldwijde geldsysteem dat Bitcoin in de basis is. Tegelijkertijd is het invoeren van een dergelijk plan wél positief voor de prijsontwikkeling van Bitcoin. Op deze ongemakkelijke combinatie gaan we in deze aflevering dieper in. Te gast is Tom van Lamoen, gemeenteraadslid in Amersfoort, lijsttrekker van de Libertaire Partij en betrokken bij de Noderunners. Co-host is Paul Buitink, managing director bij Holland Gold. Er circuleren verschillende scenario's, variërend van het omzetten van in beslag genomen Bitcoin naar een staatsreserve tot het actief aankopen van nieuwe Bitcoin door de overheid. De meest vergaande optie is het voorstel van senator Cynthia Lummis om de komende vijf jaar een miljoen Bitcoin te kopen met Amerikaans belastinggeld. Ook het verkopen van Goud lijkt men niet te schuwen. Deze ontwikkeling doet denken aan de goudreserves die landen al decennia aanhouden. Die reserves ontstonden organisch gedurende de goudstandaard, maar hebben ook nu nog een functie in het internationale monetaire systeem. De vraag is of een Bitcoinreserve een vergelijkbare rol kan spelen, en of dit een geopolitieke wedloop tussen landen kan veroorzaken. Er zijn al bewegingen in die richting zichtbaar. Rusland staat bedrijven inmiddels toe om Bitcoin te gebruiken in internationale handel, mogelijk om sancties te ontwijken. Dit zou een eerste stap kunnen zijn naar bredere acceptatie van Bitcoin door overheden. Tegelijkertijd roept dit vragen op over de rol van de overheid in het Bitcoinecosysteem. De groeiende invloed van institutionele spelers zoals BlackRock en MicroStrategy op Bitcoin heeft ook gevolgen voor het netwerk. Dit raakt aan fundamentele vragen over centralisatie en de oorspronkelijke uitgangspunten van Bitcoin.

The US government owns many billions of dollars worth of bitcoin, confiscated from bad actors such as the Silk Road marketplace. Donald Trump said on the campaign trail that he would not be selling it. Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced a bill suggesting the government buy more and create a national strategic reserve of crypto currency.

Podcast Description: Trump's Crypto Policies & Market Impacts This episode explores the potential impacts of Donald Trump's 2024 presidential victory on the cryptocurrency market, focusing on Bitcoin. ● Sources highlight that Trump's crypto-friendly policies, coupled with the Republican majority in both the House and Senate, have spurred bullish sentiment in the market. ● One of the most significant developments is Senator Cynthia Lummis' proposal for a US strategic Bitcoin reserve. ○ This bill aims to make the US the first nation to utilize Bitcoin as a "savings technology." ○ The proposal has gained momentum after the election, with Lummis hoping for adoption in 2025. ○ Some analysts predict that such a move could propel Bitcoin's value to over $1 million. ● Beyond the Bitcoin reserve, Trump's victory is expected to foster a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. ○ This optimism is reflected in increased demand for Bitcoin ETFs and the addition of new cryptocurrencies to platforms like Robinhood. ● Experts believe that Trump's policies could trigger a wave of institutional adoption, further legitimizing cryptocurrencies as an asset class. ● Other notable post-election developments include the introduction of a bill in Pennsylvania to allow the state treasury to hold Bitcoin and Trump's nomination of pro-crypto CEO Howard Lutnick to lead the Department of Commerce. The podcast will discuss these developments in detail, analyzing their potential implications for the future of Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market.

Cryptocurrency is helping fuel the 2024 election. The Fairshake PAC has spent $14.8 million in this year's elections, with more than 90% spent against Democratic candidates. And for good reason! Trump has been a Bitcoin champion, proclaiming that it will soon be “made in America”. He even spoke at the annual Bitcoin conference last month. Also, current Senator, Cynthia Lummis, a strong advocate for Bitcoin, says Kamala is not likely to become a Bitcoin supporter, but the momentum is growing among conservative patriots as they rally behind Trump.

Sheila Warren, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, joins Unchained to explore the dramatic shift by Democrats in the last few weeks on crypto. She explains why she believes the overturning of SAB 121 and the House vote for the FIT21 bill were both instrumental to the White House's changing view on crypto and may have played a role in the SEC's surprising approval of spot ETH ETFs.  Having worked for years on passing crypto legislation and as a lifelong Democrat, Sheila describes what kinds of arguments were persuasive to Democratic members of Congress, addresses some criticisms of the FIT21 bill, and gives her perspective on the debate about single-issue voters. Show highlights: The overall attitude toward crypto in Washington going into the House vote on SAB 121 on May 8 The bipartisan votes in the House and Senate to overturn SAB 121 Why, by the time of the Senate vote on FIT21, the White House had had a change of heart about crypto Why, after the Senate vote to repeal SAB 121, the SEC approved the spot ETH ETFs Why Sheila is so proud of the passage in the House of the FIT21 bill How Sheila and CCI approached their discussions with Democrats and what arguments they found effective Whether the industry has survived the negative image of SBF and FTX The sea change in the White House between the SAB 121 vote and the FIT21 vote A high-level description of the FIT21 bill  What kind of authority the bill would give the CFTC over crypto  What the implications of the bill are for launching tokens FIT21's approach to regulating DeFi and how the FIT21 bill is "kicking the can" on this topic The overall political and legislation landscape and the next likely steps for crypto Whether the ETF approval changes anything about the SEC's investigation into Ethereum What Sheila thinks about the 'crypto single-issue voter' debate  Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

With crypto becoming more politicized than ever, U.S. Senator from Wyoming Cynthia Lummis came on Unchained to talk about the recent regulatory action in Washington, D.C.
