Breaking: US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Vows To Support Crypto Companies

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in politics, I’m thrilled to see Donald Trump reiterate his support for the crypto industry. Throughout my investment journey, I’ve witnessed how innovative firms in the digital currency ecosystem have been leaving the country due to unfavorable regulation. Trump’s promise to extend his support to the broader industry is a welcome development and could potentially encourage these companies to return.


As a seasoned political analyst, I’d rephrase it this way: In the upcoming US election, Donald Trump, a renowned figure in American politics as the former President and a potential Republican contender, has expressed support for cryptocurrencies yet again.

Donald Trump Courts Crypto Again

Based on a post he made on Truth Social, the ex-President disclosed intentions to back crypto businesses. It’s commonly observed that pioneering companies within the digital currency sector have been departing due to apprehensions over stringent regulations.

According to a post by Messari Founder Ryan Selkis, during his remarks, Donald Trump referred to the cryptocurrency sector as a “new and rapidly growing industry” when discussing his upcoming administration’s intentions towards it. This label resonates with many in the crypto community as an accurate reflection of the industry’s current state.

During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump made it evident that he holds a strong affinity for cryptocurrencies through more than mere statements. Not only did he express his intent to back the emerging digital asset class, but he also accepted contributions for his election fund in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

In addition to this, Donald Trump has released a number of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), with most of them being sold and the transactions conducted using digital currencies. Consequently, President Joe Biden’s standing amongst crypto enthusiasts has taken a hit due to developments in the digital currency sphere.

During his leadership, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated a significant lawsuit against Ripple Labs Inc., with the case currently progressing through the remedies phase where the SEC seeks a compensation of approximately $2 billion. Additionally, the SEC has brought lawsuits against Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, accusing them of offering securities through the tokens they support.

Biden May be Pivoting

Based on the current developments in the industry and the regulatory approach towards crypto businesses, it seems that the Biden administration is shifting its stance in a significant way.

As a researcher studying the regulatory landscape of cryptocurrencies, I had anticipated that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would label Ether as a security and potentially reject Ethereum ETF applications. However, in a surprising turn of events, the SEC approved eight different Ethereum ETF offerings earlier this week.

Several experts view the surprise action as having political implications, implying that cryptocurrencies could potentially play a pivotal role in the US Presidential elections of 2021.
