Donald J. Trump’s presidential marketing campaign on Tuesday began accepting crypto donations, making good on the presumptive Republican nominee’s pledge to change into the primary main social gathering candidate to embrace bitcoin, ether and different digital currencies.
The transfer comes weeks after the previous president declared himself crypto’s candidate at a Mar-a-Lago gala that thrust crypto into the 2024 marketing campaign.
Trump’s marketing campaign said in a statement it “will construct a crypto military” to fight the notorious “anti-crypto military” that Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has campaigned on.
Whereas Trump has but to suggest any concrete crypto insurance policies, supporters of his positioning are accepting the optimistic noises as sufficient. That is largely as a result of Joe Biden’s administration has taken a sharply anti-crypto stance up to now.
Crypto’s emergence as a bona-fide marketing campaign situation could also be altering Democrats’ calculation, as evidenced within the Home Democratic management’s resolution within the final 24 hours not to push its members in opposition to an upcoming invoice on crypto coverage.
