The first year of President Donald Trump's term marked a paradox in the cryptocurrency market. Despite the regulatory advances promised during the campaign, major digital assets accumulated significant losses. Bitcoin fell 13.4% since January. Ethereum dropped nearly 9%. Altcoins like Cardano plummeted 63%.

Meanwhile, the Trump family moved around $1.4 billion in ventures in the sector. Digital assets already represent more than 20% of the presidential family's total wealth.
