During a campaign event in Wisconsin, former President Donald Trump committed to dismantling President Joe Biden’s regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Trump’s promise to bring the future of digital currencies back to the United States was met with enthusiastic applause.
“We will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in America. Otherwise, other countries are going to have it,” he said.
Changing Views on Cryptocurrencies
Trump’s latest remarks indicate a shift in his attitude toward digital assets. Previously skeptical, Trump has now embraced cryptocurrencies, calling himself the “crypto president.” In recent months, he has accepted campaign donations in digital currencies and engaged with leading Bitcoin miners. This shift reflects his broader strategy to connect with the growing number of cryptocurrency supporters.
Market Reaction to Trump’s Statements
Following Trump’s speech, the value of MAGA Coin, a digital currency associated with his supporters, surged by 27%, reaching $8.98, according to Benzinga Pro. This surge demonstrates the immediate impact of his pro-crypto stance on the market and the confidence his base has in his commitment to digital assets.
