Musk collaborated with Trump to establish the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), under the guise of "streamlining the government," to drive radical reform. Its core goals include reducing government spending, digitizing the bureaucratic system, and using algorithms to replace human decision-making. The high-profile shutdown of the USAID operation has also exposed the true face of the previously mysterious DOGE group members, and this may only be the beginning as the power map of the U.S. federal government is rapidly being reshaped.

Since Trump took office, there has been no significant policy promotion for the cryptocurrency market, except for the family WLFI fund continuously buying coins, with some scandals suggesting a "possible collusion with projects" relationship; Trump's son called for buying ETH, and the fund "allegedly quietly dumped ETH." Trump's government pressure on the SEC to lower rates also had no impact, and government entities such as the established cryptocurrency committee have been all talk and no action.
