Bloomberg News first reported on Thursday that Trump was planning to issue an executive order creating a crypto council, which would help advise the government on crypto-friendly policy. If implemented by the relevant regulators, Trump's expected policy directives have the potential to push cryptocurrencies into the mainstream, say regulatory and crypto experts. Cryptocurrency regulation is just one of several topics that Trump is expected to address with executive orders in the opening days of his second four-year term. The incoming president's team has promised dozens of executives orders on topics ranging from energy production to illegal immigration.
