   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">This entire campaign is about speaking the TRUTH. We did not achieve our goal tonight &amp; we need an America-First patriot in the White House. The people spoke loud &amp; clear about who they want. Tonight I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Donald J. Trump and will do everything…</p>— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) <a href="https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1747127549312766416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 16, 2024</a>

<p>Ramaswamy has repeatedly stated that he is the only <a href="https://crypto.news/where-2024-us-presidential-candidates-stand-on-the-future-of-crypto/">candidate</a> who genuinely understands the blockchain. The politician opposed the integration of a central bank digital currency (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/CBDC/">CBDC</a>), promised to reduce taxes on mining, and criticized the actions of the head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler.</p> 
<p>Besides Ramaswamy, in August 2023, cryptocurrency proponent and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-advocate-suarez-quits-us-presidential-race/">withdrew</a>&nbsp;his candidacy for the 2024 election after failing to make it past the GOP debate stage. As mayor of Miami, Suarez made high-profile decisions. For example, he will receive part of his salary in Bitcoin and support the MiamiCoin (MIA) token project. Along with Democratic candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Suarez was among the few 2024 U.S. presidential candidates supporting cryptocurrencies.</p> 
<p>Among the presidential candidates, only Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. <a href="https://crypto.news/robert-kennedy-jr-admits-to-purchasing-bitcoin/">supports</a> cryptocurrencies. If he wins, he promises to ensure the integrity of the rights to use and own <a href="https://crypto.news/presidential-candidate-robert-f-kennedy-jr-praises-bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a>.</p>
