Etherealize Co-Founder: The Crypto Industry Must Achieve Substantial Progress Before Trump's Departure

Etherealize Co-Founder Danny Ryan stated that although the Trump administration has been pushing for legislation, the crypto industry may face political backlash after Trump's departure due to conflicts of interest involving companies endorsed by the Trump family. Danny Ryan emphasized that the crypto industry must accelerate development during this window of opportunity and demonstrate its value as critical global infrastructure by attracting global capital. Danny Ryan pointed out that if crypto technology becomes deeply embedded in the financial system, future regulations will likely focus on refinement rather than elimination. Etherealize observed during the CLARITY Act hearing that the Democratic Party's focus on Trump's conflicts of interest has already hindered legislative progress.
