U.S. crypto transaction volumes soared by 50% in the first half of 2025, surpassing $1 trillion, according to TRM Labs. This growth is attributed to a favorable political and regulatory environment under President Donald Trump, who has fostered a pro-crypto stance. The surge was driven by increased institutional use of stablecoins and newly regulated products like ETFs, alongside clearer regulatory frameworks and renewed capital formation. Additionally, the report highlighted a 30% increase in web traffic to virtual-asset service providers following the 2024 presidential election, indicating heightened interest and engagement in the crypto sector.
