Former US President and present Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again stated how much he supports cryptocurrencies. The election is coming up later this year, and Trump has made his position on virtual currencies very evident.
According to blockchain researcher Collin Brown, the USA will have a major impact on the direction of Bitcoin, XRP, and other cryptocurrencies.
Brown underlined that Trump supports the freedom to self-custody, adamantly opposing the establishment of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and a pledge to eliminate Elizabeth Warren’s influence on Bitcoin regulations.
Donald Trump made four things clear:
1⃣ The future of #Bitcoin, #XRP, and crypto will be shaped in the USA.
2⃣ He will support the right to self-custody.
3⃣ Remove Elizabeth Warren from BTC.
4⃣ Trump will never allow the creation of a CBDC.Send it! 🚀🚀🚀 pic.twitter.com/6dmZKdVmoB

Bold Bitcoin Moves by Donald Trump
Trump recently announced his intentions to assist cryptocurrency startups on his social media site, Truth Social, citing the departure of creative businesses from the US because of regulatory concerns.
The founder of Messari, Ryan Selkis, extended this message by sharing Trump’s post. Referring to the ecosystem of digital currencies as a “new and burgeoning industry,” Trump demonstrated his profound awareness and respect of its potential.
Donations to Campaigns and NFTs
Furthermore, endorsing cryptocurrency is Trump’s presidential campaign for 2024. As CNF has revealed, he has started getting campaign donations in Bitcoin and other digital currencies. This action emphasizes his resolve to include virtual currency into regular financial operations.
Trump has also introduced multiple Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which he has sold and retained the earnings in virtual currency. His appeal among cryptocurrency aficionados has increased as a result of this project, which also emphasizes his proactive attitude to the digital asset market.
Regulatory Difficulties of the Biden Administration
The actions of the digital currency ecosystem have affected the support of President Joe Biden among Americans who are native to the cryptocurrency.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Ripple Labs Inc. in large part during Biden’s administration, seeking $2 billion in damages. Citing their backed tokens as securities, the SEC also went after Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
The Biden administration appears to be changing course in reaction to criticism of regulations and business developments. It was first expected of the SEC to classify Ether as a securities and reject the spot Ethereum ETF applications. But the regulator just showed a startling change of heart by authorizing eight distinct Ethereum ETF offerings.
