Trump solidifies pro-crypto stance following VP pick
Donald Trump announced he chose Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate in the upcoming presidential elections in November. The announcement came following his official nomination as the presidential candidate of the Republican party in the Republican National Convention on Monday in Milwaukee.
"After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator JD Vance of the Great State of Ohio," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
JD Vance has a demonstrated record supporting crypto, dating back to 2022 when he disclosed Bitcoin holdings of up to $250,000. The senator also proposed a bill in 2023 to provide better regulations for banks that would ensure cryptocurrency companies are well-catered to.
Additionally, in the recent vote to remove SAB121, Vance actively opposed its continuation.
Meanwhile, Trump's move has sparked high enthusiasm among crypto community members, who believe the duo could help end the regulatory issues faced by the crypto industry if voted in. Many crypto community members suggest that Trump's win will set off the next bull run for the crypto market.
Notably, Trump has been a major influencer of a pro-crypto-Republican government since the beginning of his campaign. The former President said he would ensure "the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin are made in the USA" and "support the right to self-custody." This has led to Trump's series of pro-crypto actions, including a keynote address at the upcoming Bitcoin Conference.
The Republican party has also majorly sided with Trump, adding support for cryptocurrency regulations to their agenda tagged Make America Great Again.
