Trump-linked Miner Eyes Asia

Hey crypto trailblazer, 👋

Two quick updates affecting the market: Trump's crypto-linked miner is setting sights on Asia, and the Fed just scaled down its specialized crypto oversight program.

Here are the key points:

🏗️ Trump-Linked Miner Eyes Asia to Stack BTC Reserves

• American Bitcoin, backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, is evaluating acquisitions in Japan and Hong Kong to boost its Bitcoin holdings. The plan resembles Michael Saylor’s strategy of using public listings as crypto vaults.

• The company already mines bitcoin and is preparing to go public through a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining.

• Its ambition is to create “the strongest and most efficient Bitcoin accumulation platform in the world.” No deals are finalized yet, but the ambition alone is drawing attention.

What it means: Corporate crypto treasury activity is likely to expand globally.

🏦 Fed Drops Crypto-Focused Bank Oversight Program

• The Federal Reserve has ended its “Novel Activities Supervision Program,” launched in 2023 to monitor banks’ crypto and fintech activities. From now on, crypto oversight will be handled through the Fed’s standard regulatory framework.

• Officials say their understanding of digital asset risks has improved enough to make a separate program unnecessary.

• Folding crypto into normal oversight signals that regulators now see it as part of mainstream financial supervision, rather than an exotic risk.

Why it's notable: This marks a quiet regulatory win for crypto. Instead of banks facing an extra layer of scrutiny, crypto is being normalized in the financial system.
