TRUMP

Wednesday

In a year full of global elections, the crypto industry remains expectant and critical of every candidate’s stance on cryptocurrencies. The US presidential elections could pose a turning point for regulations and <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/increased-bitcoin-etf-adoption-propels-btc-dominance-to-highest-level-since-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">adoption</a> that could affect the industry worldwide. 
On Wednesday, Donald Trump, former US president and Republican candidate, stated his support for the industry and criticized Biden’s administration for its stance on digital assets. MAGA (TRUMP), the Trump-inspired memecoin, saw its price skyrocket &nbsp;63% in the following hours.

The Republican candidate held a gathering on Wednesday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Holders of NFTs bearing Trump’s name and likeness attended the Trump Cards NFT Gala. 
During this event, the former US president strongly <a href="https://twitter.com/missteencrypto/status/1788370898187162029?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1788370898187162029%7Ctwgr%5E8d5abc4cbe3d710da29aea07596ccd548e18d3b5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcoinist.com%2Fdonald-trump-crypto-im-good-with-it-vote-for-me%2F" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">criticized</a> Biden’s administration and its hostility towards the sector. He revealed he is “fine” with crypto and wants&nbsp;to make it a “solid” industry. 
Trump claimed he’s the best option for those who are in favor of cryptocurrencies: 
<blockquote> 
 (…) I’m fine with it. I want to make sure it’s good and solid and everything else. But I’m good with it. And if you want, if you like crypto in any form, and it comes in a lot of different forms, if you’re in favor of crypto, you better vote for me. 
</blockquote> 
Moreover, the Republican candidate asserted that “crypto is moving out of the US because of the hostility towards it,” something he alleges he doesn’t want to continue and promises to stop.

When asked what he would do to stop the exodus of digital asset businesses, he stated that to embrace them, they would have to let them be in the country. To achieve this, the candidate promised a more welcoming regulatory framework for crypto. 
As part of his jab at the current administration, Trump mimicked US President Joe Biden, claiming he would be clueless if asked about cryptocurrencies. He further added, “The Democrats are very much against it.”
