Trump's executive order on crypto will mark a huge change for the industry that has been investigated under Joe Biden 's administration due to high-profile fraud cases, including the bankruptcy of the FTX exchange.
Over 100 enforcement actions against the industry have been taken by federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Many people have raised concerns over the executive order, which might come out on Monday.
“What I think Donald Trump is going to do is signal that the United States is back and we are ready to lead in this industry,” Kara Calvert, vice president for US policy at Coinbase Global Inc., told Bloomberg.“What it's signalling to other countries is be careful, or you won't keep up.”
