If Trump adjusts his policies in preparation for the midterm elections next November, it could again impact assets such as cryptocurrencies.

Caixin released its "2026 New Year Special Review and Outlook," which pointed out that the "Trump trade" took effect in 2025, with gold prices and cryptocurrencies experiencing dramatic fluctuations. In March, an executive order was signed to include approximately 210,000 bitcoins held by the federal government in the national strategic reserve. Various transactions based on stablecoins and digital currencies were implemented extensively in 2025, and listed companies transformed into treasury companies specializing in hoarding digital currencies, triggering speculation. However, the seizure of $15 billion worth of bitcoins from Chen Zhi's telecom fraud group in the US raised concerns about transaction security, and bitcoin prices fell from their historical highs by the end of the year. Moving into 2026, as Trump begins preparing for the November midterm elections, the areas in which his policies will be adjusted based on feedback, and how this will affect the performance of various asset classes, will be a key theme to watch in 2026.
