Happy New Year, and may your crypto portfolio be ever so prosperous this coming year! The biggest change of course in the crypto market is Trump’s election. This is NOT a political article, I am not pointing to Trump in any particular way other than his crypto policies. It is no secret by now that Trump is VERY “pro-crypto.” In fact, you might not even believe how pro-crypto he really is. Let’s talk about it.

First of all, if you haven’t yet heard, Trump himself has launched SEVERAL NFT collections as well as, with his son, a new actual crypto project called World Liberty Financial (WLF).
Additionally, under the WLF project, the Trump team has been purchasing many crypto tokens including: ETH, AAVE, CRV, and more.
REAL WORLD ASSETS: THE 2025 TREND?
Trump’s team hasn’t given us a precise explanation yet for what his project will be about, but they are providing many clues. So far, it seems to be intended to disrupt the banking system, provide holders with yield opportunity, and be within the “RWA” narrative (Real World Assets). Real world assets are basically when people take ownership of assets in the non-crypto world via crypto tokens. These assets may include things like financial instruments (stocks, bonds, treasuries) or actual hard assets like gold, real estate, jewelry etc.
It’s notable that this particular area of crypto is also gaining much more mainstream adoption and legitimacy through other inroads as well, including Blackrock’s introduction of it’s “BUIDL” product (spelled that way on purpose). BUIDL is also an RWA project where institutions are able to take ownership of financial instruments such as bonds and treasuries but via on-chain wallets. The minimum investment in BUIDL is $5M, so it is aimed at non-retail investors. Basically these institutions are able to benefit from holding treasuries and bonds, but receiving payment straight to their crypto wallets.
HOW DOES THIS IMPACT THE REGULAR CRYPTO INVESTOR?
So, all that fancy Trump and RWA stuff is neat, but how does that help us make money?
Well, it gives us clues into what is coming in 2025. For example, we can see that the narratives of RWA’s, DeFi (decentralized finance), and banking crypto projects are going to be hot.
But not just hot, more importantly, they will be LEGAL! I mean come on, if Trump himself is launching these kinds of projects – and Blackrock is too – then we can be pretty sure they are legal, right? Of course we can.
And sure enough, we are seeing this play out in living color: “Corporate” and “Banking” cryptos such as XRP and HBAR are in fact outperforming the rest of the market, and I expect them to continue to do so well into 2025. This can be a roadmap for us “smaller” investors who are wondering what the narratives might be in 2025. You can bet they will be banking, RWA’S, and DeFi.
While there are also some other hot narratives right now – such as AI agents – I prefer to stick with narratives that are backed by the bosses.
Of course, we still have to deal with the crypto market cycles which come and go, and even Donald Trump probably can’t stop that. We’ll discuss this in a future article.
But for now, Happy New Year and Happy Hunting for RWA, DeFi, and Banking cryptos.
