A rich 2025 in Bitcoin and crypto for Donald Trump and his family
Trump, the "crypto president"? From its outset, the year 2025 marked a decisive turning point for Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies with the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States on January 20. This event, which saw participation from major players in the crypto sector, symbolized a new alliance between US politics and digital assets. Moreover, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of 109,000 dollars just before the inauguration speech, fueled by expectations of favorable regulation and a national strategic reserve. President Trump had declared cryptocurrencies as one of the "national priorities," paving the way for a series of initiatives that began to integrate crypto-assets into the American economy.
how to anticipate and protect the transmission of your digital assets?
As digital assets become established in the French wealth landscape, a question emerges: what will happen to crypto assets at the time of succession? With nearly 10% of French people currently holding cryptos, few have anticipated their transmission. Unlike a bank account or a life insurance contract, a crypto wallet leaves no tangible trace. Without access to private keys or authentication devices, assets can literally disappear or get lost in digital oblivion. It is therefore urgent to anticipate, and our partner Coinhouse recently offered advice that we share with you here.
History sometimes has a sense of irony that would make Satoshi Nakamoto himself smile. Bitcoin was born from the ashes of 2008. During the subprime crisis. The banks then deemed 'Too Big to Fail' needed state bailouts. However, according to a forward-looking analysis by Reuters Breakingviews, the year 2026 could mark the moment when the creature calls for help from its creator… or at least from the current occupant of the Oval Office. If under the Biden era, the bankruptcy of FTX was observed with a marble coldness, the landscape of late 2025 is radically different. Donald Trump is no longer just an observer; he has become, along with his family, a central actor in this ecosystem.

It is a technology company without official offices, led by an Italian fan of the Old Lady (Paolo Ardoino), and whose main product is a computer code: Tether.

On Thursday, December 4, 2025, the European Commission published a press release where it notably displays its demand to extend the powers of control and supervision of the European Securities and Markets Authority. The supranational body would thus appropriate the powers currently held by the national local authorities of each member country, such as the Financial Markets Authority (AMF) in France.
