#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Trump’s remarks have become the most central emotional catalyst and policy weather vane in today’s cryptocurrency market. His statements mainly influence prices through two paths: “policy expectations” and “geopolitical risks,” and the volatility often shows the characteristic of “sharp rallies and sharp sell-offs.”

🗣️ Core influence mechanism
Policy easing expectations (long-term positive)
Core logic: Trump has shifted from an early “critic of cryptocurrencies” to a “spokesperson for the crypto community.” He advocates turning the United States into the “global capital of cryptocurrencies,” supports including Bitcoin in national strategic reserves, and plans to ease SEC oversight. This policy shift provides the market with long-term valuation support.
Market reaction: Once he mentions “supporting Bitcoin,” “easing regulation,” or “national reserves,” the market usually rallies quickly—especially for mainstream assets such as BTC and ETH.
Geopolitical risk (short-term negative)
Core logic: As president, Trump’s tough remarks on diplomacy and military matters (such as the “ultimatum” recently directed at Iran) can trigger global risk-aversion sentiment.
Market reaction: Funds will temporarily pull out from high-risk assets (including cryptocurrencies), causing sharp declines in the short term. Such drops are often linked to movements in global stock markets.
⚠️ The truth about “replacing the financial system”
The recently circulated claim that “Trump said he would use cryptocurrencies to replace the existing financial system” is mostly a misquote taken out of context or an over-interpretation. The real policy logic behind it is:
Using stablecoins: Support stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar (such as USDT, USDC) to strengthen U.S. dollar dominance, rather than replacing the U.S. dollar.
Defining clear boundaries: He clearly opposes central bank digital currencies (CBDC), but has never advocated for volatile Bitcoin to completely replace the traditional banking system.
📉 Recent market performance (April 2026)
Geopolitical shock: From April 5–7, due to Trump issuing military threats against Iran, Bitcoin fell from the $70,000 level to around $68,000, and panic selling emerged in the market.
Policy hedging: Subsequently, his government rolled out its “cryptocurrency 401(k) plan” (allowing retirement funds to invest in cryptocurrencies), which also provided liquidity expectations and limited the extent of the decline.
🛡️ Strategies for ordinary users
Be wary of “FOMO” sentiment: Trump’s favorable remarks often lead to price surges in an instant. Do not blindly chase after highs—it's easy to get trapped at the top.
Focus on policy implementation: Distinguish between “campaign slogans” and “actual legislation.” Keep an eye on the progress of specific policies, such as the appointment of the SEC chair and stablecoin-related legislation.
Set a hard stop-loss: During the period when Trump makes sensitive geopolitical remarks (such as those involving war), market liquidity may dry up instantly. Be sure to place stop-loss orders to prevent liquidation.
Summary: Trump is the “super big player” in the current market. His remarks create dramatic volatility in the short term, while in the long run they determine the cycle of regulatory easing. For ordinary holders, when hearing his “good news,” they should instead stay alert to the risk of short-term pullbacks.
