Crypto industry experts have shown online support to former President Donald Trump, after Trump openly expressed positive views on crypto and specifically on Bitcoin. From a campaign of ‘Made in USA’ stamp on remaining Bitcoins that are mined in the USA, to speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Trump has consciously recognized opportunities to garner support from the crypto industry. Trump has also maintained that he wants decreasing regulations on the crypto industry and the US must embrace the industry in case of China’s growing lead.
Trump’s personal financial disclosure also revealed that he holds $1 Million in crypto and has even earned millions from trading NFTs.
Kamala Harris’s team, on the other hand, says that they are still interested in bringing safeguards on the industry, especially after the industry witnessed collapses of various high-end firms.
