<p>Powell expressed optimism, emphasizing the significance of supporting the only major party candidate who supports the crypto industry in the 2024 presidential election. Powell criticized the Biden administration for a ‘campaign of unchecked regulation by enforcement.’&nbsp;</p>
<p>He maintained that the US’s competitive edge in the international cryptocurrency market is being eroded by these regulations. Powell called out Senator Elizabeth Warren and <a href="https://www.sec.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Securities and Exchange Commission</a> Chair Gary Gensler as prominent critics of the cryptocurrency industry.</p>
<p>Trump has gained the support of major players in the industry by publicly endorsing cryptocurrencies. He started accepting campaign donations in various cryptocurrencies last month and has given several speeches emphasizing his support for digital assets and bitcoin mining.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Notable crypto advocates, such as <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/trumps-crypto-advocacy-gains-more-traction-with-cathie-wood-at-the-lead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest</a>, and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of Gemini, have endorsed Trump. While Trump’s <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/biden-under-pressure-as-trump-gets-2-million-btc-from-gemini-founders-empowering-bitcoin-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">support for the cryptocurrency industry</a> is clear, President Joe Biden has yet to take a strong position on cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Biden campaign is reportedly considering accepting cryptocurrency donations through Coinbase Commerce. On Thursday night, CNN hosted the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although the topic of blockchain and cryptocurrency was not addressed, the debate has fueled calls for Biden to reconsider running for reelection in 2024. The crypto community’s growing support for Trump emphasizes how crucial digital assets will be to the outcome of the election.</p>
