On the campaign trail, Trump courted crypto cash with promises to be a "crypto president," and the industry wants him to make good on that pledge with executive orders creating a bitcoin stockpile, ensuring the industry can access banking services, and creating a crypto council, the people said.

President-elect Donald Trump could sign an executive order pertaining to the crypto sector on January 20, Reuters reported Monday.

The crypto industry is urging Donald Trump’s team to begin his promised crypto policy changes when he becomes president next month. Industry officials say they want him to use executive orders to make cryptocurrencies more mainstream.
