JAKARTA - Donald Trump's return to the White House has provided a significant boost to crypto assets in recent months. Bitcoin (BTC) managed to surpass 100,000 US dollars (Rp1.61 billion) after Trump's victory.

Last week, Trump signed an executive order that paved the way for industry-friendly regulations and the provision of reserves of national crypto assets, his main campaign promise to the industry.

However, the global crypto asset market is facing major shocks due to the emergence of the AI startup from China, DeepSeek. On January 27, 2025, Bitcoin and other major crypto assets were under heavy pressure, with liquidation reaching nearly $1 billion.

The volatility that occurs raises questions about the relationship between artificial intelligence technology that is growing rapidly and its influence on the financial ecosystem.

Crypto's Financial Expert, Panji Yudha said this week would mark the close of January as well as bring the crypto asset market into February, which has tended to be closed with positive results for more than a decade.

Based on data from Coinclass, the average Bitcoin (BTC) closed with an increase of 15.66 percent during the 2013-2024 period.

In February 2024, BTC recorded a significant increase of 43.55 percent. In addition, in the last decade, BTC has only closed bearish in February 2014 and February 2024.

According to Panji, although Trump's administration's actions towards digital assets have not provided a price boost in the short term, the impact is expected to be felt in the coming weeks and months through an increase in the flow of institutional assets.

The Trump administration is also expected to push for a cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve while implementing policies aimed at stimulating economic growth through tax reductions and infrastructure spending.

"It should be noted that the correlation between Bitcoin and traditional financial indexes like Nasdaq has been increasing recently, suggesting that macroeconomic factors play a bigger role in shaping the market trend of crypto assets," Panji concluded.
