US Crypto Capitalization: Trump’s Strategy and Key Changes

1. Reasons and Background for the US Becoming a Crypto Capital

• Strategic Choice by the United States
  The reason the US aims to become a crypto capital isn’t simply President Trump’s personal ambition, but a strategic approach to **’strengthen national interests’**. Growing the crypto economy in the US is advantageous for maintaining financial dominance and leading global economic trends.

• Shift in Past and Present Perspectives
  Back in 20172018, Bitcoin was primarily an economic mechanism centered in China. At that time, 8085% of Bitcoin was mined in China, leading Western countries to be wary. However, when the Chinese government banned Bitcoin mining and ownership, Bitcoin massively moved to the United States.
  In this changed environment, the US has now established itself as the largest holder and mining hub of Bitcoin.

• Trump and the US Government’s Support for Crypto

President Trump is discussing tax benefits and preferential electricity rates to further grow the crypto industry. Through this, he plans to bring Bitcoin mining and the entire crypto economy ecosystem into the US. In conclusion, the growth of Bitcoin is directly linked to the growth of US finance.

2. Stablecoins and US National Interests

• Role of Stablecoins
  Stablecoins act as a bridge connecting the real world (physical economy) and the crypto world (digital economy). They reduce the volatility of the crypto market while supporting the crypto economy as a digitized version of the dollar.

• Growth of the Stablecoin Market
  The stablecoin market is rapidly growing. Recently, it has exceeded $200 billion, indicating a continuous inflow of new capital into the crypto economy.
  → This increases the demand for US Treasury bonds, ultimately leading the US economy to benefit more from the crypto ecosystem.

• Re-establishment of Dollar Hegemony

In the real world, signs of weakening dollar hegemony are appearing. However, in the crypto world, dollar-based stablecoins are at the center of all transactions. This has actually increased the use of the dollar in the digital economy, creating a favorable situation for the US economy.

3. The Era of Tokenization: BlackRock and RWA

• What is Tokenization?
  Tokenization involves placing traditional financial assets (stocks, bonds, etc.) on the blockchain and trading them as digital tokens. This makes the trading of financial assets more transparent and efficient.

• BlackRock CEO’s Vision
  Larry Fink (BlackRock CEO) announced a vision to **”tokenize everything”**, removing the boundaries between traditional financial assets and digital crypto assets. He argued that this will open an era where stocks and bonds, as well as real estate, intellectual property, and intangible assets, can be freely traded via blockchain.

• Three Key Benefits of Tokenization

1. Efficiency:
   Stock and bond trading eliminates the existing complex and time-consuming processes and is replaced with real-time processing and lower fees.
   → The bond market, in particular, is highly inefficient, still involving phone trading.

2. Democratization of Investment:
   The existing undemocratic investment structures (initial equity investment, pre-listing exclusive investment, etc.) are dismantled, providing investment opportunities to a wider public. Through crypto, anyone can have the opportunity to invest in promising companies.
   → Example: Providing ordinary investors with the opportunity for initial investment in companies like OpenAI.

3. RWA (Real World Assets)

 It is a strategy to bring all real-world assets (RWA) into the crypto economy. By tokenizing all intangible assets and real assets, it **provides new investment opportunities and maximizes the efficiency of the financial market**.

4. US Crypto Capitalization: Why We Need to Pay Attention

The fact that the US is establishing itself as a crypto capital opens up various opportunities for us. New financial environments, investment opportunities, and democratized markets are opening up, allowing individual investors to seize the ‘wealth creation timing of the early nation’.
The most important thing is that the US is pursuing this at a national level. The growth of the crypto world is more than just a technological innovation; it is becoming a strategic tool to bring the center of the global financial market back to the US.

Therefore, it is necessary to watch the changes in the crypto world and take an open attitude to evaluate new investment opportunities.
