2025 was always set to be a monumental year for the cryptocurrency industry. With Trump emerging victorious in the 2024 election, there were high hopes for what his appointment as commander-in-chief would mean for the asset class. That has already come to fruition, with his US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announcing the birth of a new crypto task force.

With that in mind, few cryptocurrencies created the excitement of Chainlink. The project has already worked with various financial institutions, like JPMorgan and BNY Mellon, on a tokenization project. That looked to continue establishing its presence and opening the door for even more collaborations with firms entering the industry under Trump’s pro-crypto America.

Yet, the returning president has done even more for the crypto specifically. Indeed, Chainlink has jumped more than 333% this week, as Trump has LINK eyeing a surge to $40. The president purchased more than $4.7 million worth of the asset, and it has continued to increase.
