Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the cryptocurrency market has gained notable momentum. Particularly, Ethereum (ETH) saw a 10% increase, buoyed by optimism around DeFi (decentralized finance), pushing it above the $2,800 mark.
Trump’s Pro-Crypto Policies and Their Impact on DeFi
Trump’s supportive stance on cryptocurrency has revitalized DeFi investors. During his campaign, he pledged to make the U.S. a leader in the crypto space, raising hopes for relaxed regulations. Such changes could allow DeFi platforms greater freedom in the U.S. market, paving the way for expanded growth opportunities.
DeFiance Capital founder Arthur Cheong dubbed this shift the “DeFi Renaissance.” According to Cheong, Trump’s administration could usher in an era of innovation and capitalism. Capital is flowing into projects like Aave, reinforcing the view that these platforms are primed for long-term growth.
Increased Activity and Revenues in DeFi Projects
Key DeFi projects, particularly Aave, have seen significant revenue growth. Cheong mentioned that Aave’s revenues have already surpassed those of the 2021 bull market. This trend suggests that such projects may attract even more investors in the coming period, bolstering confidence in the sector’s stability.

Additionally, Ethereum educator @sassal0x highlighted that Trump’s policies could fuel DeFi innovation. Features like token fee adjustments are emerging, potentially providing sustained revenue for projects and creating new opportunities for investors.
Ethereum’s Market Performance and Future Outlook
Since Trump’s election win, Ethereum’s value has risen, breaking past the $2,800 level for the first time since August. Analysts predict this trend will continue, with DeFi project growth supporting ETH’s market performance. Regulatory clarity is expected as Trump’s administration could reduce regulatory uncertainties, with the SEC considering reclassifying certain tokens as commodities rather than securities. This could enable DeFi projects to reach a broader audience and strengthen their position in the U.S. market.
Institutional Interest and Market Optimism
Trump’s win has fueled an overall crypto market surge, with Bitcoin (BTC) surpassing $75,000 to hit a new record. This momentum has boosted investor confidence and generated an optimistic market atmosphere. Trump’s potential decision to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler could lead to more flexible regulations, which may significantly benefit Ethereum and DeFi projects.
