Christophe De Beukelaer, a Belgian Member of Parliament, expressed that following President Donald Trump's inauguration, Europe should not fear adopting cryptocurrency but rather take inspiration from American practices. This statement was made in a January 20 post on X.

"In short, instead of being afraid, let's roll up our sleeves and take inspiration from what Americans do best: dare, undertake and innovate," said De Beukelaer, Belgian MP. "This is the main message we should hear today from Washington!"

According to Cointelegraph, De Beukelaer has been an advocate for integrating cryptocurrency into Europe’s financial systems. In January 2022, he became the first European politician to convert his entire salary into Bitcoin, aiming to raise awareness about alternative monetary models and the importance of financial education.
