The endorsement ties U.S. right‑wing politics to a EU member that often bucks Brussels on regulatory matters. A softer U.S. stance may embolden Hungary to pursue a more independent digital‑asset policy, creating regulatory divergence within the EU. At a time when crypto markets are in extreme fear, any reduction in geopolitical risk can act as a modest risk‑on catalyst.

In a market already priced for fear, any softening of regulatory risk can act as a catalyst for risk‑on flows.
