THE ‘TRUMP EFFECT’ BOOSTS AUSSIE OPTIMISM AND INVESTMENT IN CRYPTO AS BITCOIN PRICE SOARS

Independent Reserve 2 mins read

Donald Trump's election as the President of the United States signifies an historic moment for the cryptocurrency industry, with optimism and investment in the sector soaring among Australian crypto investors, according to a 2025 Independent Reserve survey*.

As the price of Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high of A$171,000 days before Trump’s inauguration, Independent Reserve can reveal that 50% of Australian crypto investors think Trump will be good for crypto.

In contrast, 22% of non-crypto investors view Trump positively in relation to crypto, while 9% consider him bad for the sector.

Overall, 31% of all Australians surveyed believe that Trump is good for crypto, compared to just 8% who think he’s bad for the sector. The majority, however, remain neutral, indicating widespread uncertainty about the President’s potential influence.

Independent Reserve CEO, Adrian Przelozny, said: “For the first time, we will have a US President who appears poised to actively support the industry, fostering an environment of greater certainty and innovation.

“It has been reported that Trump will make an executive order to declare crypto a national priority. He’s also made a range of crypto-positive statements and announced plans to create a Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council, as well as a strategic Bitcoin Reserve, amongst other things.

“What this survey data reinforces is that Trump's perceived alignment with decentralisation and embracing of alternatives to the traditional financial systems resonates with Aussie crypto investors, especially those deeply embedded in the sector.

“The potential for pro-crypto policies under a supportive administration in the US could unlock unprecedented opportunities for innovation, greater real-world use cases, and broader adoption of digital assets more generally.

“Trump’s launch of a memecoin days before his inauguration signals a strong endorsement of crypto, potentially heralding a new era of innovation and regulatory ease for the industry.

“What we would hope to see is that other jurisdictions, such as Australia, follow the US in implementing more crypto-friendly moves,” said Przelozny.

The survey also reveals a direct correlation between the amount invested in crypto and positive views of Trump, with 78% of those investing over $10,000 per month in crypto viewing Trump as beneficial to crypto and none viewing him negatively.

Among smaller investors (those investing under $100 per month), 44% think Trump is good for crypto, and the proportion of positive sentiment increases as investment amounts rise.

Interestingly, there is a division among the genders, with 40% of male respondents viewing Trump as a positive force for crypto, and only 22% of female respondents share this view.

“Whether or not this optimism will translate into concrete benefits for the crypto industry under Trump’s influence remains to be seen,” said Przelozny.

*Independent Reserve commissioned a cross-sectional survey of over 2000 Australians between 1 January – 14 January 2025. The survey, conducted by PureProfile is a sample of everyday adult Australians, reflecting the gender, age and geographic distribution of the nation.
