The Trump administration is making big changes to crypto and US-based projects. Trump has spoken about the potential of zero capital gains tax to want the United States to be the “home of crypto” across the world. One of the projects is uniquely designed to take advantage of these changes.
Let’s see what stacks is doing, or has done, to connect with these new policies.
Stacks is a compliant part
Stacks already complies with US standards. This included Gensler’s tougher SEC standards under Biden and the newer, more relaxed standards. As a compliant part, there is no expectation of lawsuits, fines, protracted legal battles, or anything that might distract Stacks from its goals.
With STX regulatory compliance, institutions will choose stacks as L2 to deploy BTC Capital.

With the formation of the new Crypto Working Group and Digital Assets Subcommittee, Stacks also has a unique advantage here. So far, the conference has been a Bitcoin reserve first. This seems like a likely outcome given the way things are moving. A side story appears about a crypto stash. This means Bitcoin and other crypto considered “strategic assets.” And what types of assets would qualify for this?
With new crypto regulations coming, Stacks has the first mover advantage with its regulatory excellence and full cooperation from the SEC.

Stacks is only positioned here. First, institutions can legally (compliantly) use stacks as a means to accumulate bitcoin or earn yield. He also has a Grayscale Trust. That alone means institutions can buy it easily and Graycale believes the stacks are big enough, important enough, and will trade enough volume to warrant having a trust for it. And the project also has something going on.
Made in the USA Coins
Stacks is a project based in the United States. The team is based in New York. United States coins are receiving a lot of attention lately. Trump wants them to develop and wants to provide them with useful legislation. Trump also wants to eliminate capital gains taxes on them for investors. In short, being an American project now has many potential advantages. And the batteries are. Coingecko just added these to their “Made in the USA” list so more people can realize this is an American project.
Stacks is a Bitcoin Sidechain
Sidechains have a mixed reputation among those in crypto. Some people act like it’s not a real chain if it’s a ladder. Or that it makes the product worse than a completely independent channel. In the case of batteries, it’s stupid. As a Bitcoin Sidechain with a 2-way peg, Stacks inherits the superior security of Bitcoin and allows you to dig in or out of the Bitcoin blockchain. The project uses Bitcoin for final settlement. And it fits all the criteria listed here as a potential secondary system or L2 for bitcoin.
We appreciate @Bitcoinlayers to set clear boundaries on what qualifies as Bitcoin L2 and to highlight the importance of transparency.

And as such, its products like its Wrapped SBTC are the most secure wrapped Bitcoin products on the market. They are one of only two (rootstock is the other) whose packaged Bitcoin product is settled and verified on the Bitcoin blockchain.
All of these things mean that the stacks are much more interesting from institutions and those looking to get involved in the Trump administration. It looks like 2025 for some and maybe the next 4 years too could be very good for batteries.
