Crypto-Trump has once again become one of the main topics in the crypto segment of social media: users are discussing the theory that Donald Trump’s administration may support the market with a series of positive announcements ahead of the November US Congressional elections, as was already the case in 2024.
Please do not reserve more than one lamp, otherwise there won’t be enough for everyone!
The crypto industry has already contributed about $189 million to the 2026 election cycle. This is more than a third of all corporate donations, so the market, to put it mildly, expects a return favor. In 2024, crypto companies became the largest corporate political donors and, judging by subsequent events, did not regret their investments.
Hence the new market hypothesis: before the elections, the White House will continue to give the industry good news, and the growth that started on August 18 could have been Trump’s first “White Swan.” Several connections are most often recalled around this topic:
- Donald Trump
- Trump Media & Technology Group
- CIC Digital LLC
- Fight Fight Fight LLC
- memecoin $Trump
- Solana network
- platform
- link between politics and digital assets
Cryptocurrency in this story no longer looks like a marginal bet by enthusiasts, but rather a tool that politicians, funds, and major financial players are forced to take seriously. The broader political agenda increasingly includes not only prices but also basic crypto terms:
- cryptocurrency
- blockchain token
- market capitalization
- ICO
Bitcoin Receives First Reversal Signals
The main short-term emotion of the week is simple: finally. The head of CryptoQuant confirmed what the market has long wanted to see in the numbers: aggregate demand for bitcoin on the spot and futures markets has become positive for the first time since October 2025.
Now market participants are watching to see if this trend will last at least a month. If so, talk of the end of the bear phase and the start of a new bull cycle will become much more confident.
Large old whales seem to have already sensed a change in sentiment. Last week, they opened significant long positions almost at the local bottom, which added optimism to the market.
There is another argument in favor of bitcoin’s correction nearing its end. VanEck’s data looks like this:
- 8 out of 12 tracked indicators are now in the capitulation zone.
- Over the past 3 months, all 12 indicators have entered this zone.
According to analysts, capitulation has likely already occurred, and bitcoin is either approaching the accumulation phase or has already entered it. Historically, bitcoin’s bear period has lasted an average of 11-13 months. The current decline has lasted for 10 months, so VanEck considers September-November a likely window for the transition to accumulation.
World Liberty Financial Moves Toward Bank Status
The Trump family company World Liberty Financial is once again in the spotlight. The US banking regulator OCC has granted preliminary approval for the registration of World Liberty Trust Company as a national trust bank.
After final approval, World Liberty Financial will be able to independently issue the USD1 stablecoin and hold the dollar reserves that back it. Currently, this function is performed by BitGo.
This is an important symbolic episode for the market: a crypto project associated with a political family is gaining the opportunity to integrate more deeply into the US financial system. Such news is exactly what supporters of the “Crypto-Trump” theory see as possible pre-election support for the sector.
Silicon Valley Elite Embraces Crypto Payments
Another notable signal came from the tech elite. Silicon Valley billionaires are increasingly using crypto assets as a payment tool. They are buying:
- airplanes
- yachts
- supercars
This can be seen not only as a status demonstration but also as a sign of market maturity. Digital assets are gradually turning from a speculative tool into a means of settlement for large private deals.
Arthur Hayes Comes Out of Hibernation for Flop Labs
Arthur Hayes has started promoting a new project, Flop Labs. The BitMEX co-founder announced that he is “coming out of hibernation” to lead an initiative in which the FLOP token should become the “native currency for AI agents.”
The Flop Labs plan looks like this:
- Q4 2026: major airdrop.
- Q1 2027: launch of the Flop Network.
- According to the project, there will be no presale or venture investors: the team promises a completely fair launch.
At the same time, investors should be cautious. There has not yet been an official #FLOP listing, so amid the hype, the market may well face a wave of scam tokens.
I am preparing my body for a bull market, ‘extracting oxygen’ wherever I can, — Arthur Hayes.
BlackRock Sticks With Bitcoin
BlackRock remains calm and still recommends holding 1-2% of a portfolio in BTC for diversification. Even a 50% drop in bitcoin did not make the company reconsider its attitude toward the asset.
One of the main reasons for the crash, according to BlackRock, was the mass closing of high-leverage positions. However, the company’s assessment is that bitcoin’s long-term prospects have not worsened.
BlackRock’s calculations over the past 10 years show that a 1-2% share of bitcoin in a classic portfolio of stocks and bonds could have improved the risk-return balance.
The company has not abandoned the idea of bitcoin as an alternative monetary asset. Such a tool may become more in demand amid rising US government debt and budget deficits.
BlackRock also notes that the development of spot ETFs, futures, and options is gradually reducing bitcoin’s volatility. But high leverage can still sharply swing the price both up and down.
Changpeng Zhao Awaits Hyperliquid Breakthrough in US
Changpeng Zhao is closely watching Hyperliquid’s attempt to enter the US market. The Binance founder believes that such a move would be a major victory for the entire crypto industry and would open the door for other DEX and CEX.
Changpeng Zhao emphasized that despite his close ties to Binance, he remains a supporter of decentralization and does not consider centralized exchanges the only correct model. He sees the next logical step as expanding access for international crypto exchanges to the US market.
For now, the market is living in anticipation. If positive signals from regulators, major funds, and politicians continue, the theory of a pre-election “Crypto-Trump” will gain even more supporters.
