Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will accept cryptocurrency donations for his 2024 presidential run. He announced this during an event attended by supporters who bought his “Mugshot Edition” NFTs.
When asked about the possibility of donating using cryptocurrency, Trump confidently replied, “If you can’t, I’ll make sure you can.”
Trump took the opportunity to reiterate that he was on the industry’s side. He even scheduled to meet his supporters who bought his Mugshot Edition NFTs for dinner yesterday. In contrast, President Joe Biden is less knowledgeable about the cryptocurrency industry.
Trump said he wanted to keep cryptocurrency businesses in the United States, referring to possible regulatory conflicts that might send them abroad.
“If crypto is moving out of the U.S. because of hostility toward it, we’ll stop it. I don’t want that,” he declared. “If we’re going to embrace it, we have to let them be here.” Trump’s comments highlight his aim to attract supporters from the cryptocurrency community and those involved in digital finance.
“We did it when NFTs were not hot. We made NFTs hot again,” Trump added.
This move comes as Trump positions himself as a pro-crypto candidate, promising to foster an environment that allows the cryptocurrency sector to thrive domestically.
