Trump Trade 2.0: Crypto Takes Center-Stage At US 2024 Elections

As an analyst with a background in financial markets and a keen interest in the crypto industry, I find the ongoing developments surrounding the potential “Trump Trade 2.0” intriguing. The Republican Party’s increasing favor towards cryptocurrencies, coupled with former President Trump’s vocal support for the sector, could significantly impact the crypto market.


The Trump Trade 2.0 is poised to be unveiled before the US Presidential Elections 2024, which are due later this year. According to Bernstein analysts, the GOP candidates and their favored nominee have been increasingly vocal in expressing pro-cryptocurrency sentiments.

Donald Trump Favours the Crypto Industry

Since the initiation of his presidential campaign, Donald Trump and the Republican Party have advocated a pro-cryptocurrency stance in an attempt to court votes from crypto supporters. Furthermore, according to Bernstein analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra, Super PACs supporting Trump and the Republican Party have made cryptocurrency donations.

As a crypto investor looking back at 2016, I recall the emergence of the so-called “Trump Trade” – a phenomenon marked by the concurrent rise of Treasury Yields, US Stocks, and the US Dollar following Donald Trump’s election victory. Now, with another presidential election looming, I ponder the potential implications for the crypto market.

From a Republican perspective, cryptocurrencies are viewed not only as a potential voter base but also as a significant source of financial support. Should the political climate lean more toward the Republicans, digital currencies could become the go-to investment, or what some might call the “Republican trade,” and expectations for favorable regulations could reshape the narrative surrounding blockchain technology.

In early June this month, Donald Trump held talks with heads of Bitcoin mining companies, voicing his continued backing for the sector. He pledged to tackle any potential issues faced by the industry should he regain the presidency. Moreover, Trump expressed a preference for Bitcoin mining to take place primarily within the United States borders.

“I intend to put an end to Joe Biden’s hostile stance towards cryptocurrencies. We will foster a supportive environment in America for the development of crypto and Bitcoin.”

Bitcoin 2024 Convention

According to a recent Axios update, it’s been announced that Trump, the former US president, intends to deliver a speech at the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville towards the end of July.

The Bitcoin 2024 event, overseen by Bitcoin Magazine, is scheduled from July 25-27. It follows closely after the Republican National Convention.

As a crypto investor, I’ve kept a close eye on political events that could potentially impact the market. And let me tell you, this upcoming event is shaping up to be quite significant. It’s not just going to be Trump gracing us with his presence, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate, is also scheduled to speak. Plus, we have former GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, as well as Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee joining the lineup. It’s going to be an interesting gathering indeed!
