I received a push notification early this morning, marking the end of the three-week US federal government shutdown. While most investors discuss the stock index's opening gains and losses, my first reaction was to open the candlestick chart of a well-known politically affiliated token.
Why focus on this? Frankly, this is not an ordinary crypto asset. The Trump family is deeply involved—serving as honorary co-founders, with his three sons as co-founders. This relationship gives it an inherent political cycle attribute.
During the government shutdown, market risk aversion was strong, and risk assets were under pressure across the board. Once uncertainty dissipates, suppressed risk appetite quickly releases. Cryptocurrencies linked to political figures become the most direct beneficiaries. This is not coincidence—it's a reflection of the real flow of funds.
Since Trump took office, he has indeed taken several actions in the crypto space. Appointing supporters of crypto to lead financial regulation, pushing for key legislation, and creating a policy environment that leans toward friendliness. The family holds about 22.5 billion tokens in this project, accounting for nearly a quarter of the total supply. This number alone indicates deep vested interests.
From a market logic perspective, declining political uncertainty, a gradually improving policy framework, and a substantial family holding all add up to open a window for certain crypto assets. Of course, assets driven by political factors can also be highly volatile, with risks and opportunities often coexisting. But if you're tracking the impact of policies on the crypto market, this case is worth observing.
