TD₿: Trump's "Crypto Army" | Political Tokens vs. Encrypted Money - (a Swan original series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Bitcoin is beginning to establish itself as a significant issue voters are putting their support behind. Plus, what should we make of the rumors that the SEC may soon approve a spot-ETH ETF?
Hey Bitcoiners,
Donald Trump's campaign vows to build a "crypto army" and announces it is now accepting donations in crypto. In response, the current administration has switched its adversarial tone and now looks eager to embrace digital asset adoption in the United States.
Also, Dante covers how Ethereum has gone from being sued by the SEC to now looking like it will be approved for a Spot ETF in the coming weeks and takes at the stark difference between political money (fiat/crypto) and encrypted money (Bitcoin).
Enjoy!

Job of the Day
The Company
Swan is a leading Bitcoin-only financial services company supporting individuals and companies throughout their Bitcoin journey. We hire passionate Bitcoiners who want to work with a self-motivated and fully distributed startup team.
The Role
Last year, Swan announced the intent to launch a Bitcoin-only trust company. Now, we are working toward building a pipeline of highly qualified individuals to help us lead this company.
The trust company will embark on the mission of onboarding the world's Bitcoin-only clients ranging from wealth managers, family offices, institutions, and beyond while innovating in Bitcoin-only custody initiatives such as multi-institutional custody and other new forms of collaborative and conditional custody enabled by Bitcoin native technology.
The company will maintain complete legal separation from Swan and have its management structure separate from Swan while accessing Swan's broader resources (with more than 150 employees overall).
We are looking for a Director of Financial Operations to lead the trust company's function. This early hire will play a pivotal role in building, developing, overseeing, and optimizing the trust company's financial operations. This leadership position requires a seasoned finance professional with a deep understanding of fiduciary services and regulatory compliance and a proven track record of driving financial and operational excellence.
This is a startup-phase tech company role that must balance the fast-paced needs of a startup with the regulatory and risk needs of a trusted company managing billions of dollars in AUM. The ideal candidate will have experience in rapidly changing high-growth environments, be comfortable wearing many hats, and be able to rapidly jump levels from hands-on review of new initiatives to vendor selection to conversations with management and regulators.
