Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican candidate who supports cryptocurrency, has decided to quit the race for the United States presidency. 
After nearly a year of campaigning, he announced on January 16 in Des Moines, Iowa, that he is suspending his presidential campaign.
Ramaswamy explained that he believes there should be a candidate prioritizing America's interests, and he disclosed his support for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

Ramaswamy entered the presidential race as a relatively unknown candidate but quickly gained support from the cryptocurrency community due to his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/crypto-policies-were-discussed-in-gop-debate" title="bold policy proposals" class="f-link" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bold policy proposals</a> regarding Bitcoin and other digital assets.
Distinguishing himself as the sole candidate with a dedicated crypto policy framework, he introduced "The Three Freedoms of Crypto" on Nov. 16. This framework aimed to shield crypto developers from legal liability for the actions of users employing their code.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its Chair, Gary Gensler, on Dec. 6, 2023, Ramaswamy criticized the SEC's lag in adapting to crypto regulation. He found it "nothing short of embarrassing" that Gensler couldn't acknowledge before Congress that Ether (ETH) should be categorized as a commodity.
