Trump Pushes DOJ Epstein Files Release as Crypto Markets Watch Political Developments
President Trump's demand for immediate disclosure of DOJ Epstein files has sparked debate, with potential implications for financial markets. The controversy coincides with newly discovered records—over 1 million pages spanning two decades—including emails, photos, and court documents.
While the political drama unfolds, cryptocurrency traders monitor volatility risks. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) show muted reactions, though privacy coins like Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC) often see activity during geopolitical uncertainty. Exchange volumes on Binance and Coinbase remain steady.
Trump's focus on 'naming names' could trigger market-sensitive disclosures. Historically, Epstein-linked revelations have caused brief sell-offs in assets tied to implicated figures. The Transparency Act deadline of December 19 looms as a potential catalyst.
