Donald Trump Attracts Voters Assuring Crypto Support

In a recent address as the Republican nominee for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Elections, Donald Trump openly endorsed cryptocurrencies, emphasizing his dedication to protecting the rights of crypto investors. Trump’s campaign criticized the Biden administration for what they perceived as a lack of comprehension regarding cryptocurrency operations and accused it of implementing overly strict regulatory measures against digital assets.

During his latest campaign speech, the Republican candidate emphasized: “If you like crypto in any form…and it comes in many forms…if you’re in favor of crypto, you better vote Trump.”

During a recent CNBC interview last month, presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed his stance on Bitcoin and other digital assets, indicating that he wouldn’t enforce regulatory crackdowns. Trump acknowledged the widespread use of cryptocurrencies and stated, “I’m not sure that I’d want to take it away at this point.”

A recent report from Standard Chartered suggests that Bitcoin’s market performance could benefit from a re-election of Donald Trump. The report anticipates positive signals in the Bitcoin market, including significant price increases and enhanced adoption.

Institutional clients previously made bullish projections on Bitcoin’s growth, driven by expectations of spot Bitcoin ETF approval and the price surge to $44,000 in December. Standard Chartered reaffirmed its price projections of $150,000 by the year’s end and $200,000 by 2025.
