| By Andy Swan History is an excellent teacher. During his first presidency, Donald Trump implemented extensive deregulation, including rolling back environmental protections and loosening restrictions on industries such as energy and finance. He withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, ending international climate commitments and focusing on domestic economic interests. At home, he dismantled the Clean Power Plan, eliminating emissions limits on coal-fired power plants. Methane rules were rolled back, opening up greater production for oil and gas operations. Trump also lifted restrictions on offshore drilling across nearly all U.S. coastal waters, declaring this move would “unleash American energy.” In finance, Trump weakened key parts of the Dodd-Frank Act by signing the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. This change increased the asset threshold for regulatory scrutiny from $50 billion to $250 billion, reducing compliance burdens on regional and community banks. “We’re going to be doing a big number on Dodd-Frank. The banks are going to be able to lend again,” Trump said, highlighting his push to free up lending. He also introduced a "two out, one in" policy for new regulations to reduce overall government oversight. You can see the sheer scale of his effort in the significant drop in the number of new rules reviewed by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) during his term: 
Source: Bloomberg Trend Watch: Deregulation in 2025 In 2025, deregulation is once again on the table. Since his re-election, Trump has doubled down on his commitment to deregulation, particularly in emerging technology sectors. In fact, at LikeFolio, we believe deregulation could be one of the single most influential “mega” trends to shape the investing landscape over the months and years to come. As regulatory constraints loosen, many sectors stand to gain – some more than others – from this reduced oversight. With that in mind, we’ve identified four sectors where every investor should be looking for opportunities before the new year. Take a look… The Top 4 Sectors to Watch No. 1: Cryptocurrency The U.S. cryptocurrency landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Bitcoin (BTC) has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels near $100,000 — a surge fueled by expectations of a crypto-friendly administration. Trump's campaign promises to establish the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the planet" are materializing, with proposals like a strategic Bitcoin reserve gaining traction. By now, you know we’re bullish on Bitcoin. But there will be stock market winners, too. Just this week, MegaTrends members locked in a 445% profit on a crypto-adjacent stock in just 18 months. Our Social Heat Score tool spotted that opportunity ahead of the market – and there will be more profits where those came from. No. 2: Technology Deregulation in the U.S. technology sector could unleash a wave of innovation and expansion. Easing antitrust scrutiny is expected to pave the way for major mergers and acquisitions, allowing tech giants to consolidate and rapidly scale operations. Reduced oversight in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) could enable faster development and deployment of cutting-edge technologies. Check out one of our top deregulation trade picks in this sector here. No. 3: Industrial Operations Streamlining permitting processes for factories, simplifying compliance protocols, and easing environmental regulations are all anticipated to reduce costs and time to market for industrial projects. This environment empowers manufacturers to scale quickly, adopt advanced technologies, and enhance supply chain resilience. Automation and AI-driven production are likely to benefit substantially, fostering rapid advancements in precision manufacturing, on-demand production, and innovative supply solutions. (MegaTrends subscribers – look for our top stock to watch in this space in your new November issue.) No. 4: Autonomous Driving The large-scale deployment of autonomous driving technologies is advancing quickly as companies ramp up efforts to integrate self-driving vehicles into public and commercial transportation systems. Deregulation could accelerate the development and adoption of true autonomy nationwide, enabling faster deployment, reduced red tape, and broader market access. We see Tesla (TSLA) as a clear winner – and I’ll show you why here. The Bottom Line Deregulation efforts planned for 2025 are set to reshape major U.S. sectors, aiming to fuel economic growth and encourage innovation. But investors must stay alert to capitalize on these shifts. That’s where LikeFolio comes in. We’ll be watching our data for ripple effects in technology, autonomous driving, finance, AI, health care, and environmental policies – and arming our subscribers with the best and brightest deregulation trades the market has to offer. Our proprietary stock-picking device, the Social Heat Score, has already identified three top picks for our MegaTrends subscribers: - A small-but-mighty health care tech stock whose shares have rallied 30% in the last five days alone.
- A $20 telecommunications stock with innovative satellite tech, rocketing web traffic (+383% year over year), and a Social Heat Score of 75 (out of 100) that puts it straight in the buy zone.
- And an AI-powered digital marketplace reshaping the custom manufacturing process by making it faster, more efficient, and accessible.
That’s just the start of the opportunities brewing for 2025. If you’re not yet a MegaTrends member, this is your perfect opportunity to join and get access to these picks – and the rest of our model portfolio – before Trump’s policies take hold. You can go here now to get started. Until next time,  Andy Swan
