President Donald Trump

<p class="is-style-lead">Former President Donald Trump announced his intent to position the U.S. as a global crypto hotspot if elected.</p> 
<p>On Aug. 29, Trump stated that he would lay out his plan to ensure America becomes the “crypto capital of the planet” as blockchain and digital assets increasingly feature in U.S. political campaigns. Trump’s X post also <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1829141447087648796" target="_blank" rel="">mentioned</a> the World Liberty Financial initiative, spearheaded by his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.</p> 
<p>Details about the project were scarce at press time, but rumors suggest it revolves around real-world assets and tokenization.</p> 
<p>The Trump sons also warned crypto proponents to beware of scams and imitators on the project’s official Telegram channel, which has over 53,000 subscribers. Trump has yet to disclose how involved he might be in World LibertyFi or what the initiative aims to achieve.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="donald-trump-s-crypto-shift">Donald Trump’s crypto shift</h2> 
<p>During a May gala, Donald Trump first styled himself as the industry’s champion and started adopting pro-crypto remarks to woo web3 votes.</p> 
<p>Trump’s bullish rhetoric continued at the July Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) 2024 conference. The Republican party candidate promised to <a href="https://crypto.news/us-govt-moves-2b-worth-of-bitcoin-after-trumps-no-sell-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">create</a> a strategic Bitcoin reserve and fire Gary Gensler, current Securities and Exchange Commission chair.</p> 
<p>While odds between Trump winning and Democratic pick Kamala Harris becoming president have fluctuated recently, crypto seemed to <a href="https://crypto.news/polymarket-trump-overtakes-harris-after-rfk-jr-withdrawal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lean</a> toward the former president and his supposed policies.</p> 
<p>Also, a Bitcoin bill <a href="https://crypto.news/us-senator-lummis-unveils-bitcoin-reserve-legislation-following-trumps-keynote/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fielded</a> by fellow Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming has reportedly garnered steam in the Senate. Like Trump’s plan, Lummis’ proposal would tap America’s existing stockpile and leverage Gold certificates for a two-decade Bitcoin HODL.</p>
