President Donald Trump's support for the crypto sector is no joke. Trump promised on the campaign trail to help the sector and has followed through by surrounding himself with pro-crypto advisors and cabinet members, and establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and digital asset stockpile. Trump also has begun to push crypto legislation through Congress. Most recently, Trump unveiled a crypto policy roadmap to further bolster the sector in his push to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. Here are three ways this roadmap could affect **Ethereum** (ETH 2.60%), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency. ## 1\. Removing regulatory gray areas One of the big issues for crypto businesses and cryptocurrencies in general has been a lack of clarity when it comes to crypto regulations. Companies and banks have worried about drawing unwanted attention from regulators and facing enforcement actions, and clear regulations haven't been set in stone that stakeholders could follow.

The sheer presence of Trump and his friendly approach to the sector has obviously changed this, but the administration is also working to get actual regulations into writing. On the White House's fact sheet for its crypto roadmap, it specifically says that it wants Congress to remove "existing gaps in regulatory oversight" by giving the Commodities Futures Trading Commission oversight of the spot market for cryptocurrencies. This would be a big win for crypto businesses, which had worried the Securities and Exchange Commission might claim jurisdiction and apply its strict enforcement of securities regulations to the sector. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the Clarity Act, which seeks to create a broad regulatory framework for the crypto sector, but the Senate still needs to approve the legislation, and amendments are possible. ## 2\. Integrating DeFi into mainstream finance The White House's fact sheet also calls for Congress to enact legislation that "embraces DeFi technology and recognizes the potential of integrating such technology into mainstream finance." DeFi stands for decentralized finance, which refers to the use of decentralized applications with smart contract functionality. This one really applies to Ethereum's blockchain network, which is considered the mecca of DeFi. Smart contracts are automated systems created on blockchain networks that essentially automate a contract by having it carried out only after certain terms and conditions are met. There are so many use cases for smart contracts. An example could be applied to the real estate sector and the execution of a mortgage or rental contract. For instance, if the proper documentation is provided, certain conditions are met, and a down payment is made, a smart contract could automatically execute a mortgage. According to crypto exchange Gemini's Cryptopedia, more than half of all decentralized applications run on Ethereum's blockchain, with more than 600,000 people regularly using these applications. Wider use of DeFi is likely to benefit Ethereum more than any other token and network. ## 3\. Stablecoins Congress' first big crypto legislation that Trump has since signed into law is the Genius Act, which seeks to create a framework for the use of stablecoins in the broader payments ecosystem. Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a currency or commodity, and several of the largest stablecoins are backed by the U.S. dollar. Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are big fans of stablecoins, largely because companies can use U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds in the reserve pool. Wider usage of stablecoins could drum up demand for Treasuries, which could help with the U.S. government's debt and fiscal issues. The White House fact sheet says, "The widespread adoption of dollar-backed stablecoins will modernize payments infrastructure and allow the United States to move away from costly and outdated legacy systems." Interestingly, the two largest backed stablecoins, **Tether** and **USDC**, currently do most of their issuance on Ethereum's network. According to Binance, roughly 70% of stablecoin volume is moved through Ethereum. ### Related Stocks - [CRCL.US - Circle](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRCL.US.md) - [ETHE.US - Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHE.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | BREAKINGVIEWS-穩定幣巨頭是加密貨幣領域的脆弱基礎 | Tether，全球最大的穩定幣 USDT 的發行者，儘管面臨監管挑戰和市場波動，仍展現出韌性。其市值達到 1840 億美元，主導着與美元掛鈎的數字貨幣。然而，由於其股權緩衝減少，風險資產在其儲備中所佔比例增大，其財務穩定性受到質疑。如果市場 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276411736.md) | | 法國巴黎銀行資產管理公司：發行了一種法國本土貨幣市場基金的代幣化股份類別 | 法國巴黎銀行：法國巴黎銀行：探索公共區塊鏈基礎設施用於貨幣市場基金的代幣化。法國巴黎銀行資產管理：發行了一種在公共區塊鏈基礎設施上記錄的法國本土貨幣市場基金的代幣化股份類別。該項目涉及通過法國巴黎銀行的 AssetFoundry 平台，在公 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276445252.md) | | Coinbase 首席執行官表示加密貨幣交易所被 “誤解” | Coinbase 首席執行官布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗聲稱，加密貨幣交易所被投資者 “誤解”，並指出華爾街在公司面臨 30% 股票下跌的情況下低估了該公司。他認為，傳統金融將數字資產視為威脅，類似於過去 Uber 和 Airbnb 等公司的顛覆。社 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276453663.md) | | Aptos 的價格預測：代幣經濟學的改革預計將重塑 APT 的供應 | Aptos (APT) 將進行重大代幣經濟學改革，擺脱補貼模式，轉向以績效為驅動的方法。這一變化旨在控制代幣供應並支持網絡增長，提議的硬上限為 21 億 APT。目前，APT 的交易價格約為 0.86 美元，顯著低於其歷史最高點。這些變化對 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276352842.md) | | 2026 年費用最低的最佳貨幣兑換服務 | 在 2026 年，貨幣兑換服務專注於成本透明度，用户優先考慮低費用。頂級服務包括 ChangeNOW、Kraken、Binance、Coinbase 和 Bybit，每個平台提供獨特的費用結構。ChangeNOW 沒有明顯的佣金，Krake | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276442092.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
