Citadel Securities CEO Ken Griffin Targets Crypto Market Amid Trump’s Pro-Digital Asset Stance

Market-making giant Citadel Securities is looking to become a liquidity provider for the crypto market.

The decision is inspired by US President Donald Trump’s embrace of the digital asset space, according to a Feb. 24 report by Bloomberg that cited sources familiar with the matter.

Citadel Securities Aims To Provide Liquidity For Binance, Coinbase And Crypto.com

The market-making firm is aiming to become a service provider for leading crypto platforms, including those run by Coinbase Global Inc., Binance Holdings and Crypto.com, the sources said. Once approved, Citadel Securities initially plans to set up teams outside of the US. 

Speaking at the 2025 UBS Financial Services Conference in Key Biscayne, Florida, Citadel Securities founder and CEO Ken Griffin said the Trump administration should push for regulatory guidelines to keep fraud at bay in the crypto space.

“We’ve seen time and time again in markets where your tier one players are allowed to participate are actually markets that clean themselves up,” Griffin said. He added that he would like to see this happen in the crypto space.

Griffin Criticizes Biden Administration’s “Evil” Approach To Regulation

Griffin went on to criticize the Joe Biden administration for its “evil” approach to “regulation by enforcement” in the crypto space. In recent months, the Citadel Securities CEO and founder has also said it was a ”mistake” for his firm to have avoided the crypto market earlier. 

When Bitcoin surpassed $100K for the first time, Griffin said digital assets are part of the American people reclaiming “agency” in their lives after electing Trump as Biden’s replacement.

Griffin’s decision to try to make Citadel Securities a market maker in the crypto space comes as the financial industry gears up for more activity in the digital asset sector under pro-crypto US President Trump. 

While campaigning, Trump promised to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet.” Since taking power, President Trump has sought to overhaul rules that restricted activity under former President Biden.

Dogecoin Price On A Sustained Bullish Trend The Dogecoin price has been in a significant uptrend recently, with a sharp rise in mid-to-late October and into November. The trend is clear from the steep ascent in price of Dogecoin above both the 50-day (yellow line) and 200-day (red line) Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). This signals strong bullish momentum in the short to medium term, according to data from GeckoTerminal . Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around the mid-range, close to 54, which suggests that there is no immediate overbought or oversold condition. This level of RSI indicates a cooling off period after what was likely an overbought condition during the rapid price increase. The RSI cooling off while price remains high could indicate consolidation before the next move. If the Dogecoin price sustains th...
