Donald Trump, known for his bluntness, has repeatedly expressed his views on cryptocurrencies, emphasising their growing importance in the global economy.

His recent remarks about turning the United States into the world's crypto capital reflect a desire to harness cutting?edge technologies to strengthen the country's economic position. Although Bitcoin's price seems not to agree with his remarks, BTC traded around $65,000 in this morning's session.

"Bitcoin is very powerful, so many people want to pay you in crypto now — we must be at the top of that," he said over the weekend, stressing the need to actively participate in shaping the future of financial markets.

Obviously, this approach implies creating a favourable regulatory environment — currently, the focus is on CLARITY, which has struggled to pass the Senate — that will foster innovation rather than stifle it. Rather than viewing cryptocurrencies as a threat, Trump proposes treating them as a new opportunity for economic growth and technological leadership.

In this context, it's important to note that "crypto capital of the world" does not mean merely dominating trading volumes or the number of mining farms. It is an ambitious goal to build an ecosystem in which the United States leads in the development, regulation and adoption of advanced blockchain technologies and digital assets. That includes not only cryptocurrencies but broader blockchain applications across sectors from finance to logistics and healthcare.

Trading recommendations

Bitcoin

Buyers are currently targeting a return to $69,100, which would open a direct path to $70,700 and then to $72,500. The more distant upside target is around $74,600; a break above that would indicate attempts to resume the bull market. On the downside, buyers are expected at $66,900. A move back below that area could quickly push BTC toward $64,900, with a further downside target near $62,600.

Ethereum

A clear close above $2,098 would open the way to $2,175. The more distant upside target is around $2,238; a break above that would signal strengthening bullish sentiment and renewed buyer interest. On the downside, buyers are expected at $2,023. A move below that area could quickly send ETH toward $1,936, with a further downside target near $1,845.
