Political parties have embraced cryptocurrency, a key highlight of the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, and former President Donald Trump appears to be an industry booster despite his prior objections
Trump’s recent fascination with cryptocurrency is believed by some to be an attempt to secure additional ballots. He certainly impresses a few others. ‘Team Trump’ is the stance of Ark Invest’s CEO, Cathie Wood.
Wood stated at a recent conference in Las Vegas, “I am going to vote for the individual who is going to do the most for our economy, as I have said to my children.” When it comes to economics, I am a voter. And on that principle, Trump.”
Wood’s most recent endorsement is significant due to her status as a prominent figure in the industry. At this juncture, her endorsement of Trump is advantageous for the former president, as it indicates the increasing interest of specific economic leaders.
She also provided insight into Trump’s economic policies during his previous term. Wood cited economist Arthur Laffer and asserted that the pre-COVID administration was the “greatest in U.S. economic history.””
Is the U.S. political scene catching up to the crypto train?
Trump has been actively advocating for the cryptocurrency sector. He initiated his interest in the market by accepting cryptocurrency donations.
Furthermore, the Winklevoss twins, the proprietors of Gemini, contributed $2 million in Bitcoin to Trump’s campaign, in addition to Wood’s endorsement. Subsequently, the current president, Joe Biden, also demonstrated enthusiasm for the digital realm.
Raphael Zagury, Swan Bitcoin’s Chief Investment Officer, addressed the matter and stated,
“It originated with senators discussing Bitcoin.” Afterward, there was an increase in the number of individuals discussing the matter. The arrival of Trump was a surprise to the majority of individuals, including those of us who had been involved in Bitcoin for an extended period. Trump’s statements regarding Bitcoin were generally positive.
This could be a significant change for individuals who are extremely disillusioned with the majority of the events that are occurring in politics.
