<p>According to the <a href="https://learn.breadcrumbs.app/posts/campaign-donations-donald-trump-2024-election-blockchain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain analysis company Breadcrumbs</a>, on-chain crypto donations for Trump’s campaign amount to <strong>around $60,000</strong>. This amount, collected from <strong>218 donors</strong>, seems modest. However, <strong>donations via centralized crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase</strong>, are seeing a significant increase.</p>

<p>James Delmore, an analyst at Breadcrumbs, explains:</p>
<p>“<em>On-chain donations are not easy to make, hence the influx of funds through centralized exchanges</em>”.</p>
<p>The <strong>complexity of on-chain transactions</strong> may deter some donors, but it hasn’t slowed down Trump’s campaign momentum.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-left">Significant donations, such as the <strong>$2 million in bitcoins (BTC) offered by the Winklevoss twins</strong>, well illustrate this trend.</p>

<p>Cryptos sent via Ethereum, Base, and Polygon (totaling around $59,000) represent a fraction of the <strong>$260 million in funds raised</strong>, but mark a symbolic turning point towards mass crypto adoption.</p>
<h2 id="h-the-impact-of-cryptos-on-trump-s-campaign">The impact of cryptos on Trump’s campaign</h2>
<p>The announcement last May by Donald Trump’s campaign of <strong>accepting cryptocurrency donations</strong> generated genuine excitement. Positioned as <strong>a fervent advocate of cryptos</strong>, Trump has caught the attention of bitcoin and other digital asset enthusiasts.</p>
<p>While the American regulatory landscape remains uncertain with several lawsuits against cryptocurrency companies, <strong>Trump stands out with <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/the-unexpected-passion-of-donald-trump-for-cryptos-true-love-or-electoral-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a pro-crypto stance</a></strong>.</p>

<p>The months leading up to the elections have seen attempts in Congress to <strong>pass favorable laws for cryptocurrencies</strong>. This dynamic could work in favor of the former president, with donors hoping for clearer and more favorable policies for the crypto industry.</p>

<p>By incorporating cryptocurrency donations into his strategy, Trump shows he is <strong>ready to innovate and embrace new financial technologies</strong>. This approach could well give him a decisive advantage in the presidential race.</p>
<p>With growing support for cryptocurrencies, Trump’s election could well encourage more Americans to <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-trump-wants-the-usa-to-seize-the-remaining-btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">venture into the crypto industry</a>.
