5 TRUMP CRYPTO PREDICTIONS

BREAKING: JPMorgan Highlight 5 Ways Trump Will Change Crypto

The crypto market is on fire since Trump’s election win, and for good reason.

With Republicans dominating Congress, the path to crypto-friendly policies has never looked clearer.

Here’s the lowdown on JPMorgan’s big predictions:

1. Crypto Bills Finally Pass
   The FIT21 Act could bring order to the chaos by clearly defining whether assets fall under the CFTC or SEC. This clarity is exactly what the industry needs to thrive.

2. End of SEC Crackdowns
   No more heavy-handed lawsuits. Expect a more collaborative approach, with settlements likely for cases involving big names like Coinbase.

3. Banks Enter the Game
   Once SAB 121 is repealed, banks will finally embrace crypto custody, unlocking a whole new level of institutional support.

4. Beyond Bitcoin ETFs
   Spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and even Dogecoin? Yes, please. Multi-token ETFs like the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund could also gain traction.

5. Bitcoin Reserve: The Wild Card
   Trump’s plan to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve would shake the world. But let’s face it—it’s a long shot. If it happens, though, the bull run will be unforgettable.

Time will tell if these predictions come true.

HOW TO AVOID CRYPTO SCAMS 🏦

Phishing Attacks Are Everywhere: Can You Spot the Fake?

3…2…1…times up!

Did you catch it? One link had a “1” instead of an “l”. If you missed it, you’re exactly who scammers hope to fool.

Welcome to scam season, where the booming crypto market attracts more scammers than ever.

Let’s dive into the top four crypto scams you need to watch out for…

1. Fake Tokens Masquerading as Big Brands

Scammers love to ride the coattails of trusted names. Recently, a fake $MILK token was promoted under our name. Spoiler: it wasn’t us.

Your defense:

• Verify the sender’s domain (e.g., emails from “milkroad.com”).

• Check social channels for official announcements.

• When in doubt, reach out directly.

2. Address Poisoning—A Tricky New Scam

Scammers mimic wallet addresses to trick you.

They’ll send tiny transactions so their fake address ends up in your history, hoping you’ll use it by mistake.

Your defense:

• Never copy-paste from transaction histories.

• Double-check addresses before sending.

• Use wallets with whitelisting or bookmarks.

3. Fake Links Leading to Fake Apps

It’s not just crypto links—scammers imitate major web brands too. One victim lost their funds by installing a fake MetaMask extension and entering their recovery phrase.

Your defense:

• Install vetted browser plugins to flag bad links.

• Keep big holdings in offline wallets.

4. Customer Service Imposters

Fake reps are everywhere—DMs, emails, and even fake websites. Their goal? To gain your trust and steal your funds.

Your defense:

• Ignore random DMs and emails.

• Verify links against official domains.

• Never share your recovery phrase—ever.

Bonus Tips for Staying Safe:

• Obscure your recovery phrase by creating decoy copies.

• Use multiple cold wallets to spread your holdings.

• Secure hardware wallets in multiple locations.

Pro tip: If something feels off, trust your gut. Scams rely on urgency—take your time and stay secure.

SOL BREAKS THROUGH $240

Solana (SOL) broke through the $240 threshold, reaching its highest level in three years.

With a remarkable 13% gain over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency's performance has been bolstered by strong network activity and several key fundamental drivers.

A bullish breakout in the Solana-Bitcoin (SOL/BTC) ratio signals an end to its prolonged triangular consolidation, paving the way for SOL to potentially outperform BTC.

But why is Solana surging right now?

I put this down to several key factors..

Solana ETF Prospects Ignite Institutional Excitement

VanEck’s head of digital asset research, Matthew Sigel, has boosted market confidence with his optimistic stance on Solana ETF approval.

Sigel predicts an "overwhelmingly high" likelihood of a spot Solana ETF gaining regulatory clearance by the end of 2025, citing favorable political developments as a critical driver.

Solana’s Network Dominance

DEX Volume Leadership

Solana has emerged as a leader in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading, capturing 33.59% of market share, well ahead of Ethereum’s 17.54%.

This underscores Solana’s scalability and its growing influence in the DeFi ecosystem.

Record-Breaking Metrics

• Real economic value (transaction fees and MEV tips): Reached an all-time high

• Open interest: Surged to a record $4.82 billion, nearly quadruple 2021’s levels

• Weekly funding rates: Rose to 0.827% from -0.0378% just two weeks ago

DApp Performance Milestones

Several Solana-based DApps have achieved remarkable results:

• Raydium: $11.31 million (all-time high in fees)

• Jito: $9.87 million (third-highest)

• Photon: $2.36 million (fifth-highest)

SOL/USD Technical Outlook

A breakout from a descending triangle pattern on the weekly chart suggests continued bullish momentum.

Key price targets point to $267-270 by the end of 2024, potentially marking a new all-time high.

Market Structure

• Current Price: $234

• Previous All-Time High: $259

• Market Cap: $112 billion (up 44% from previous peak)

• Inflation Rate: 4.9% (declining 15% annually)

Short Squeeze Dynamics

Recent price surges have triggered notable short liquidations:

• $14.47 million in shorts liquidated

• $3.6 million in longs impacted
  This imbalance has accelerated upward momentum.

Key Considerations for Investors

1. Supply inflation remains a factor in overall token supply.

2. Institutional interest, particularly through ETF approval, remains a critical catalyst.

3. Sustained growth in network metrics reflects increasing adoption.

While market sentiment is bullish, with 82% positive bias, the Fear & Greed Index at 90 (Extreme Greed) suggests caution in the short term.
