"Market Closure Assassination" Strikes Again? Trump's Action Takes Effect, Triggering a Strong Rally in Crypto Assets and Related Stocks

While the market was trembling in "extreme fear," a policy-driven "surprise attack" quietly unfolded. Trump's executive action once again precisely targeted the "market closure window," injecting a long-awaited boost of confidence into crypto assets and related stocks.

The so-called "market closure assassination" has long been a signature move of the Trump era—signing executive orders or making major announcements during Friday night or weekend market closures, catching the market off guard. By the time trading resumes on Monday, capital has already digested the news overnight, forcing a passive adjustment of positions. This time, Trump’s focus is directly on the banking industry, explicitly calling for accelerated legislation on stablecoins and market structure.

Once the news broke, the crypto market responded immediately. Bitcoin quickly broke out of the $68,000 consolidation zone, sparking a collective rally across the entire crypto sector. More intriguingly, the stock market closely tied to the crypto ecosystem also staged a "strong rebound"—Coinbase surged over 5% in pre-market trading, and "Bitcoin shadow stocks" like MicroStrategy also moved higher. The message from capital is clear: when traditional finance faces regulatory pressure, embracing digital assets becomes a safe haven for the innovative.

Why did Trump act now? On the surface, it appears to criticize the conservative rigidity of the banking sector, but in reality, it is paving the way for the 2026 midterm elections—seeking support from crypto voters and the tech freedom camp. A deeper signal is that once stablecoin legislation is enacted, it will mean the U.S. officially recognizes and regulates this trillion-dollar market, unleashing the long-suppressed demand from Wall Street giants.

For investors, this "market closure assassination" is far from a simple short-term stimulus. It marks a policy turning point: shifting from years of regulatory crackdown to a compliance game under legislative frameworks. Those who trembled in fear may need to reconsider—when Trump hits the banking industry and embraces stablecoins, the true "big players" have already completed a new round of strategic positioning against the trend.
