TradingKey - A member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council has warned that the U.S. government is laying the groundwork for financial instability, but Trump remains steadfast in his support for cryptocurrencies.
Recently, Francois Villeroy de Galhau, a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council, warned that the U.S. government's encouragement of cryptocurrencies and non-bank finance could set the stage for the next financial crisis.
"Financial crises often originate in the U.S. before spreading globally. By encouraging the development of crypto assets and non-bank finance, the U.S. government is sowing the seeds for future instability," Villeroy said.He added, "Europe's regulatory system is more robust, and the eurozone is not at risk of a banking crisis."
During his campaign for the U.S. presidency, Trump frequently voiced support for cryptocurrencies, proposing initiatives such as establishing a cryptocurrency strategic reserve and positioning the U.S.as a global crypto hub while also strengthening regulations.
Since taking office, Trump has continued to advanced his crypto-related policies, drawing global attention and skepticism. The situation is reminiscent of El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender under President Nayib Bukele. However, Trump remains undeterred and is pressing forward with his vision for cryptocurrency development.
