With the new year 2025, expectations are rising for what could happen in the cryptocurrency market. This first month could be key, as a huge bull market is expected for these digital assets. Among the enthusiasts is Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich, who believes that if Trump approves Bitcoin as a reserve, so will Japan.
According to the businessman, Trump's decision could be a watershed moment in the financial world. The scarcity of BTC and the demand by nation states and large corporations could generate a strong shortage and appreciation.
Such a scenario is not only possible, but could take place as early as January itself. According to Trump administration sources recently quoted by Reuters, on his first day in office, the president would approve at least one cryptocurrency executive order.
Japan's reaction if Trump adopts Bitcoin in as a strategic reserve would be one of emulation, in Gerovich's view. In his view, it would not take long for Japanese authorities to adopt a similar law. “Bitcoin is becoming a topic of discussion at the highest levels of government, and corporations around the world are beginning to adopt it as a standard,” he said.
Despite the fact that the possible inclusion of BTC in the U.S. reserves generates discomfort among some sectors, Trump seems determined. Critics of the possible adoption assume that it would become a transfer of wealth from citizens to whales.
Others, such as CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, are incredulous that this adoption will succeed as a government BTC standard. The latter even does not rule out that at a certain point Trump may consider that there are priorities and discard Bitcoin.
In any case, the critics' assumptions are entirely speculation and Trump is so far keeping his promise. In the coming days, the opportunity will come for the tycoon to finally fulfill this promise. For now, the cryptocurrency market is in maximum expectation and that could derive in a new BTC price rally before January 20.
It is worth noting that the odds of Trump turning Bitcoin into a U.S. reserve are overwhelming. Simply put, crypto world capitals flooded his campaign and are now key allies of the tycoon's administration. Hence, it is now up to the president to do his part in this deal.
Betting at Polymarket also leaves some doubt. The option that Trump will create the reserve in his first 100 days in office now reflects 25%. However, this would have much to do with the pessimistic sentiment of late December. Thus, it would not be surprising if the Yes option returns to early November levels, when it marked 60%.
