Trump's policies bring DeFi, BTC staking into trend?

The return of Donald Trump in 2025 has sparked much speculation in the crypto industry about how his administration could impact digital finance.

Marcin Kaźmierczak, co-founder and chief operating officer at RedStone, suggested in an interview with TinTucBitcoin that the new Donald Trump administration “could give a big boost” to the development of DeFi (DeFi).

“Such a government could push policies that push DeFi from a niche to the mainstream, sparking an explosion of innovation and investment,” he said.

Kaźmierczak also explained that the rise in the price of Bitcoin (BTC) “usually” triggers activity in the DeFi services sector, arguing that “when BTC goes up, it doesn’t just go up by itself; it lifts the entire DeFi sector.

Pro-Crypto Policies for DeFi Development

Kaźmierczak believes that the Trump administration could adopt a more crypto-friendly approach to legislation, potentially creating new policies that minimize regulatory barriers while encouraging innovation.

“With Trump at the helm, expect a wave of optimism to ripple across the DeFi landscape, potentially rewriting the rules of digi-fi,” said RedStone co-founder, commenting on Trump and his team creating Aave and World Liberty Financial (WLFI).

However, Trump's WLFI Token launch on October 16 was met with a major failure, showing that as of 10:00 UTC on October 17, only 848.63 million (4.24%) WLFI had been sold.

This was attributed to restrictions on who could buy Tokens, the website crashing, people claiming it was a scam, difficulty in converting Tokens, and an overly complicated purchasing process.

How Bitcoin Staking Will Become the New Investment Standard?

Kaźmierczak also noted that, as BTC prices push closer to $100,000, he believes that staking BTC could compete with traditional investments by allowing investors to earn interest on their holdings.

“The psychological impact […] could usher in an era where BTC staking becomes as common as dividends, attracting a broader spectrum of investors from retail to large institutional funds,” he added.

The implications of BTC's ability to act dual-purpose — as both a store of value and a source of income, especially as prices approach $100,000 — could impact both BTC and DeFi.

By increasing the attractiveness of BTC through staking, long-term holding is encouraged, which could lead to reduced selling pressure. However, price volatility could still affect this.

Kaźmierczak said that BTC’s “notorious volatility” acts as both “a magnet for traders and a minefield for the market,” creating an unpredictability that can “dissuade conservative investors and shake participant confidence.”
