Crypto legal professional and head behind the MetaLawMan moniker, James Murphy, shared his opinion on this in a X post back in May 26 stating that no crypto case should be settled with the current SEC before the election. He expressed his opinion in the message: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t settle any crypto case with the current SEC before seeing how the election turns out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lockdown said that recent pledges Trump made to the crypto sector could make \u201ca very different SEC. \u201d Within the last month, <strong>Trump<\/strong> has positioned himself as crypto friendly, saying he is \u201cokay with it\u201d and that the United States \u201chas to be leaders in the field.\u201d Trump also pledged to reduce Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht\u2019s life sentence if elected. Murphy reduced his argument suggesting that:<em> \u201cI could imagine voluntary dismissals of crypto cases the [SEC Chair] Gary Gensler regime has initiated where there was no fraud and no victims.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/trump-election-win-could-impact-sec-crypto-lawsuits-experts-weigh-in\/#Skepticism_from_Industry_Observers\" title=\"Skepticism from Industry Observers\">Skepticism from Industry Observers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/trump-election-win-could-impact-sec-crypto-lawsuits-experts-weigh-in\/#Divisive_Opinions_in_the_Crypto_Communityx\" title=\"Divisive Opinions in the Crypto Communityx\">Divisive Opinions in the Crypto Communityx<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/trump-election-win-could-impact-sec-crypto-lawsuits-experts-weigh-in\/#The_Road_Ahead\" title=\"The Road Ahead\">The Road Ahead<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skepticism_from_Industry_Observers\"><\/span>Skepticism from Industry Observers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, as Murphy cited, not every one has this same outlook on contemporary art. In response to this view, Cinneamhain Ventures\u2019 partner, Adam Cochran, agreed but offered an opposite opinion, which pointed to Trump\u2019s proclivity for not achieving his pledges. \u201cTrump has been captured on video for the past forty years back peddling and throwing over other people for his selfish gains,\u201d Cochran alleged. He also further explained that Trump like Biden initially opposed the use of crypto currencies and is embracing it for votes.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Two Prime hedge fund partner Alexander Blume described <strong>Trump<\/strong> as a man who gave hope to desperate groups but have in the past failed to deliver on the dream. Blume\u2019s comments also coincide with findings from the fact-checking site PolitiFact, which revealed Trump had violated more than fifty per cent of the one hundred and two promises he made during his 2016 presidential campaign, had moderated 23 and upheld 24.<\/p>\n<p>There is more, however: <strong>Trump\u2019s statements about cryptocurrencies in the past complicate the question even further.<\/strong> Although Trump seems to have a positive view of blockchain, he, as a president, tweeted that he is not a fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/trump-pledges-bitcoin-leadership-in-2024-campaign\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> and other cryptocurrencies, stating that they \u2018operate on thin air\u2019.

Crypto lawyer Gabriel Shapiro gave this depature from the criticisms noting that Trump had previously take shots at Facebook and what he described as the four-year witch hunt the Biden admin has waged on crypto.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Dudas, the founder of the Block, an outlet dedicated to crypto and now a venture capitalist responded with a pragmatic personal outlook despite his personal loath for Donald Trump.
