7 Days to Go For Donald Trump’s Inauguration: Crypto Market Braces For Impact

As the countdown to Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States enters its final week, crypto market participants are closely monitoring the situation.

With just seven days remaining before the January 20 ceremony, investors and analysts alike are bracing for the impact of Trump’s return to the White House.

Has the Market Already Priced in Trump’s Victory?

Many in the cryptocurrency market are wondering if the market has already “priced in” his victory for Bitcoin. The term “priced in” refers to the idea that markets have already absorbed and reflected expectations about a future event or development in the current asset prices.

Analysts like Dan Gambardello and Hoeem believe that the market has not yet priced in Trump’s inauguration. This means there is room for a crypto rally once Trump takes office.

“People think the pro-crypto Trump presidency and governments racing to buy Bitcoin is priced in. It’s very simply not priced in,” Gambardello posted on X.

Crypto expert Hoeem echoed the sentiments of many when he said, “Donald Trump’s inauguration is NOT priced in.”

“Trump will back pedal anything that negatively impacts the crypto market. Trump will double down on anything that positively impacts the crypto market. He wants, from day one, the pump to pump and keep f*cking pumping not only for his team and families strong connections to the market but for simply his ego alone,” Hoeem added.

It appears that even traditional finance markets are waiting to capitalize on a crypto bull run under Trump.

According to a Bitwise survey, 56% of financial advisors said that Trump’s victory made them more likely to invest in crypto. Among those already investing in crypto, 99% plan to either maintain or increase their crypto allocations in 2025. 

Caution vs. Optimism: Crypto Market Prepares for Trump

Amid hopes for a bull run once Trump takes office on January 20, some argue that caution is necessary.

 The New York Digital Investment Group said that it could take time before Trump delivers on his campaign promises. NYDIG warned that there won’t be any changes to crypto policy immediately after the inauguration, especially as some top government positions have yet to be filled. 

“We would caution on expecting immediate changes. Key officials still need to be named, those that have been named need to go through the confirmation process, and then once confirmed they need to assemble their staff,” NYDIG explained.

Also, the authorities have not yet revealed who will head agencies like the CFTC, OCC, and FDIC. Nevertheless, NYDIG expects that “they will be pro-Bitcoin and crypto as well.”

During his previous presidency, Trump’s policies significantly influenced financial markets, including cryptocurrency. His administration often took an ambiguous regulatory stance, contributing to the volatility of the digital asset space. 

Now that Trump has clearly vocalized his support for crypto, it needs to be seen how soon he can bring his promises to life. In the days leading up to the inauguration, the crypto community remains cautious yet optimistic.
