The U.S. administration, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is implementing a plan to bridge the gap between large capital and average investors, addressing economic disparities. Despite Bitcoin's decline, institutional interest in digital assets remains strong. Meanwhile, new legislative measures like "Trump accounts" aim to democratize investment access. Optimism for tax returns in 2026 and clear regulations for stablecoins signal the government's adaptation to a hybrid financial landscape merging traditional markets with crypto.

The US administration led by Scott Bessent, the Secretary of the Treasury, has developed a comprehensive plan to align the interests of large capital and middle investors. The initiative aims to overcome the growing economic disparities between financial centers and ordinary citizens.

Against the backdrop of these extensive reforms, the cryptocurrency market demonstrates mixed dynamics. Bitcoin, traditionally considered an alternative investment tool, decreased by 2.42% over the past year and is currently trading at $92.27K. Notably, despite market fluctuations, institutional investors remain interested in digital assets. BlackRock and other leading financial organizations have accumulated around $70 billion in Bitcoin ETFs, signaling long-term confidence in this asset class.

Meanwhile, the government is ramping up legislative activity. The Trump administration proposed an innovative financial instrument — “Trump accounts” with an initial amount of $1,000 for newborns, aimed at early-capital accumulation and democratizing access to investments.

Minister Bessent expresses optimism about the first quarter of 2026, foreseeing significant tax refunds for the population. Additionally, early 2026 is expected to see the adoption of legislation on market structure, which will establish clear regulations for stablecoins — cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional assets.

These initiatives reflect the state’s attempt to adapt to a new financial reality where Wall Street and traditional markets are increasingly intertwined with the crypto ecosystem, creating a hybrid financial architecture of the future.
