Christophe De Beukelaer, a Belgian Member of Parliament, has emphasized the importance of Europe taking a leading role in the cryptocurrency industry. He expressed this view in a January 20 post on X, stating that Europe should be at the "forefront of this financial revolution."

According to Cointelegraph, De Beukelaer has been a proponent of integrating cryptocurrency into European financial systems. In January 2022, he became the first European politician to convert his entire salary into Bitcoin. This move was intended to raise awareness about alternative monetary models and promote financial education. Through these initiatives, De Beukelaer aims to position Europe as a leader in the cryptocurrency sector, highlighting the necessity for understanding and active participation in this evolving financial field.

In related developments at the World Economic Forum on January 23, 2025, President Trump announced his initiative to unlock U.S. oil and gas resources. He said that this would position the United States as "the world capital of artificial intelligence and crypto." Trump also discussed his administration's efforts towards extensive deregulation.

Participants include major industry players, entrepreneurs, consultants, and European Union institutions.

As president of The Committed Brussels party, De Beukelaer focuses on pragmatic climate action and efficient mobility within Brussels. He advocates for developing the city into a technological and ecological hub. With experience in startups and simplifying Brussels' institutions, he also co-founded Meltingpom.be—a company providing healthy snacks and organic products—drawing from his background in management engineering.
