Donald Trump’s return to the presidency in 2025 has sparked plenty of buzz in the crypto world, with many speculating about how his administration might reshape the digital finance landscape.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Marcin Kaźmierczak, co-founder and COO of RedStone, hinted that Trump’s policies could supercharge decentralized finance (DeFi):
“An administration like Trump’s could take DeFi from the shadows into the mainstream, driving massive innovation and investment,” Kaźmierczak said.
He pointed out how Bitcoin’s price surges often light a fire under DeFi services. “When BTC rallies, it’s not just Bitcoin on the rise; it’s the entire DeFi ecosystem climbing with it,” he explained. Kaźmierczak suggested that Trump might roll out crypto-friendly policies, cutting red tape and opening the doors for new tech.
“With Trump steering the ship, DeFi could ride a bullish wave that redefines digital finance,” Kaźmierczak added, even nodding to the launch of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump-branded Aave fork.
But not all was smooth sailing. The WLFI token launch on Oct. 16 fizzled, with only 4.24% of its supply sold by the next day. Buyers faced a clunky process, limited availability, and glitches on the site, leading some critics to call the project a “cash grab.”
Despite the stumble, Kaźmierczak remains optimistic, emphasizing that Bitcoin’s notorious volatility can be both a draw and a deterrent. “It’s a trader’s playground but a challenge for the faint-hearted. That volatility shapes how the market moves and how confident participants feel,” he said.
Whether Trump’s second term becomes a turning point for crypto or just another headline grabber, one thing’s clear: the stakes are high, and the market is watching.
