The cryptocurrency industry has become an unlikely battlefield as the 2024 U.S presidential election approaches. It seems that former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden are competing for the backing of crypto voters by taking different policy positions. 
In a recent post on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared himself “very positive and open-minded to cryptocurrency companies and said the U.S “must be the leader in the field.” He accused Biden of wanting the crypto industry “to die a slow and painful death”&nbsp;and promised his administration would foster its growth.

Given his previous involvement in the crypto industry such as launching his own <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2022/12/17/donald-trumps-first-nft-collection-sells-out-for-4-5-million/">NFT collection</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/22/donald-j-trump-presidential-campaign-now-accepting-crypto/">accepting</a> crypto donations for his campaign, Trump’s pro-crypto approach is not surprising. However, his recent comments represents a shift away from his earlier doubts concerning digital assets. 
On the other hand, Biden’s government has recently taken steps that favor cryptocurrencies too. Last week, SEC <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/24/sec-finally-approves-ethereum-spot-etfs/">approved</a> Ethereum ETFs against expectations while the House <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/22/president-biden-wont-veto-fit21-bill-seeks-regulation-harmony/">passed</a> Financial Innovation and Technology Act supported by the industry despite White House objections.&nbsp; 
Both parties’ decisions indicate the realization of increasing political power within the cryptocurrency sector. 
However, political analysts think that attitudes towards cryptocurrencies are nothing more than just a political approach to get this new voting block on their side. In a much more obvious way, Trump welcomes the crypto industry while Biden seems to be taking a soft position through regulation compromises.
