Donald Trump has announced an ambitious plan to cut 10 regulations for every new one he introduces to boost economic growth, jobs and innovation. The news is causing a stir across industries, including crypto, where regulatory clarity is key. Speaking on Monday, he said: 
“We’ll eliminate 10 old regulations for every new one. You put a new regulation on, you have to get rid of 10, and we’ll be able to do it.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

This 10-for-1 deregulation is on top of Trump’s previous administration, during which he claimed to cut regulations “5 times more” than any previous president. Many of those regulations were reinstated but Trump has told his supporters that his administration would quickly get rid of them and get back to economic freedom.

Although Trump hasn’t spoken about crypto regulation in his latest announcement, a recent set of moves puts him closer to a crypto-friendly environment. The appointment of Paul Atkins, a self-proclaimed pro-innovation regulator, as Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would, on its face, mean a lightening of the regulatory burden on blockchain and digital assets. 
In another crypto-friendly move, Trump’s proposed Secretary of the Treasury is said to be pro-innovation in the crypto space, including a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Such initiatives are part of the broader deregulation efforts which could see the U.S. become the global leader in digital currencies. 
Bitcoin is already above $100,000 and is soaring as barriers to adoption come down. Industry players hope Trump’s policies will encourage innovation and give clear guidelines for crypto, which often fall into grey areas in traditional regulations.

Another key part of Trump’s deregulation agenda is the creation of a new Department of Government Efficiency “dedicated to shrinking the federal bureaucracy”. For this new department; he has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead and tasked them with rationalizing agencies, cutting regulations and reducing federal spending. 
“This administration will revolutionize government operations, reduce waste, and unleash the potential of American businesses,”&nbsp; Trump said. 
The DOGE project will have a big impact on regulatory bodies like the IRS, SEC, and others that regulate money and technology markets, including crypto. It’s about getting rid of ineffective bureaucracy that hinders the economy but has minimal influence in emerging markets.

While supporters are cheering <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/trump-doubles-down-on-regulation-cuts-plans-to-slash-10-rules-per-new-policy/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Trump’s 10-for-1</a> regulation cut, critics are warning of the risks. A big reduction in oversight could mean no consumer protection, environmental damage, or financial instability. 
Specifically in the crypto space, some argue deregulation will embolden bad actors and expose investors to fraud or scams. However, Trump’s team says a balanced approach will keep protections in place while encouraging innovation.

<h2 id="b-conclusion-crypto-implications-b">Conclusion: Crypto Implications</h2> 
The crypto industry is at a crossroads; Trump’s policies are hopeful but uncertain. More defined regulations will mean institutional adoption of digital assets, development of blockchains and greater competitiveness globally. 
On the other hand, industry leaders are warning against overderegulation and are calling for well-thought-out frameworks to be put in place to protect investors and stabilize markets. 
As Bitcoin and other digital assets go mainstream, the role of government in their future could be a big issue. The tone for how the U.S. will navigate this fast changing landscape will be set by Trump’s administration.
