U.S. Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr said transactional freedom through crypto must be protected to ensure economic growth. 
Commenting on <a href="https://crypto.news/?s=Trump" target="_blank" rel="">Donald Trump</a>’s U-turn on crypto policy, Kennedy Jr lauded the revamped view and implored President <a href="https://crypto.news/?s=Biden" target="_blank" rel="">Joe Biden</a> to side with innovation in America by supporting crypto.&nbsp;“I’m not going to question if it was a political decision, I’m happy he did it and I hope President Biden does too”, said the politician. 
Kennedy Jr abstained from commenting on Trump’s conviction, as industry observers pondered how the court ruling might impact the Republican pro-crypto candidate. 
The presidential candidate added that more figures like SEC Chair <a href="https://crypto.news/?s=Gensler" target="_blank" rel="">Gary Gensler</a> should recognize and encourage decentralized currencies like Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="">BTC</a>), which offer a solution to diluted monetary instruments currently overshadowing the U.S. capital ecosystem. 
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies can power a democratized market economy where investors and individuals control their wealth outside government interference, per Kennedy Jr’s comments at Consensus 2024.&nbsp;

Kennedy Jr opined that the government must guarantee digital asset ownership, sovereign wallet control, and consumer protection from scams like FTX by creating a clear crypto regulatory framework.&nbsp; 
According to the politician, crypto should also be treated as currency and exempt from capital gains. Fair digital assets policies means people “ have a choice as to whether they can buy” these virtual currencies and use them to settle purchases.&nbsp; 
Kennedy Jr’s speech strengthened remarks from experts like Coinshare chief strategy officer Meltem Demirors and A16z Crypto founder <a href="https://crypto.news/consensus-2024-a16z-crypto-lobbying-donation/" target="_blank" rel="">Chris Dixon</a>, who said the crypto voting block may be crucial to this year’s presidential elections.&nbsp; 
A <a href="https://crypto.news/from-donations-to-decisions-how-crypto-pacs-target-senate-races/" target="_blank" rel="">poll</a> found that over 44% of voters either own digital assets or factor blockchain policies when deciding between candidates. 
Regardless of the U.S. electoral outcome, it’s uncertain if crypto regulations will pass this year.&nbsp;Congressman Tom Emmer <a href="https://crypto.news/tom-emmer-at-consensus-2024-crypto-is-nonpartisan-and-here-to-stay/" rel="">told</a> Consensus attendees that an end-of-year Senate session might be the best chance for decisive digital asset rules before next year.
