Recently, Trump expressed strong support for cryptocurrencieshighlighting his openness to the industry during a speech at the Libertarian National Convention.

He contrasted his position with that of President Joe Biden, criticizing Biden’s perceived anti-cryptocurrency stance and vowing to ensure cryptocurrencies thrive under his leadership.

Trump’s endorsement comes at a time when the Biden administration shows signs of a softened approach towards cryptocurrencies, particularly with the recent approval of eight Ethereum spot ETF applications by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

According to Chris Giancarlo, former CFTC commissioner, Trump was dubbed “America’s first cryptocurrency president” because his administration approved future Bitcoin contracts during his first year in office in 2017.

While the Biden administration has seen jurisdictional conflicts between the SEC and CFTC over cryptocurrency regulation, opinions are divided on whether Biden’s potential re-election could bring favorable legislation for the industry.
