The price of Bitcoin (BTC) 
$109,461 has plummeted to levels not seen for nearly 60 days, turning the day into a nightmare for traders. While the reasons for this drop have been discussed for days, the decline became even more pronounced due to panic selling. Now, January 20th is emerging as a date of significant importance for cryptocurrencies. But why is this date more critical?
Trump, Cryptocurrencies, and January 20
On January 20th, Trump will officially take office for a four-year term. With almost two years until the elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives in November 2026, the Republicans will hold the majority in both chambers. This situation significantly strengthens Trump’s hand regarding cryptocurrency regulations.
However, according to a recent report by the WSJ, there is more to it. On the day Trump takes office, he is expected to issue decrees related to cryptocurrencies. These digital currencies played a significant role in Trump’s electoral victory as they were a vital part of his campaign promises.
The issuance of executive orders from day one may create a festive atmosphere in cryptocurrency markets next week. We might see increased pressure on crypto companies or the new SEC administration withdrawing from cases unrelated to fraud and many other last-minute developments in the coming weeks.
