Since Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office, the United States has embraced the cryptocurrency market like never before. Although that led the asset class to surge earlier this year, things have changed. Now, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has warned that US President Trump’s crypto push is threatening the global market.

In a post to X (formerly Twitter), Young Ju discussed the potential downside of the country’s continued turn toward cryptocurrencies. Specifically, he noted that the asset class could soon become a weapon of geopolitical influence. That could lead to cryptocurrency’s usage to serve national interests, a far cry from its original intent.

Trump’s Crypto Push May Threaten Global Market as Asset Class May Be Weaponized

Just last week, the United States announced a plan to create its very own cryptocurrency reserve. This wasn’t focused on simply Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) but included assets like Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) as well. However, not all are thrilled with the idea.

Some are questioning what the continued push could mean for the industry as a whole. Indeed, US President Trump’s ongoing crypto push could threaten the global market, warns one CEO. Specifically, CryptoQuant executive Ki Young Ju has expressed concerns about potential weaponization of the asset class by the North American power.

“The crypto market is increasingly becoming a weapon of the United States,” Young Ju said. “Since Trump’s election, universal moral standards have declined. Now, if something benefits Trump and serve’s US national interest, it is no longer considered illegal.”

With geopolitical tensions surging under the Trump administration, crypto could be used in that arena. “Ultimately, ‘coins serving US national interests’ are likely to work against every country except the United States,” Young Ju warned. “It appears to be a strategy to dominate the crypto market and absorb foreign capital.”
