Former President Donald Trump is continuing to express his support for the crypto industry, saying that he will protect the right of 50 million Americans to self-custody digital assets.
Speaking to his supporters in Washington D.C., the 2024 Republican candidate says that he’s going to “crush” the Biden Administration’s anti-crypto stance.
Trump goes on to say he will keep Americans’ crypto safe from Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for drafting anti-crypto legislation, as well as never allow the government to create a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
“I will also stop Joe Biden’s crusade to crush crypto, we’re going to stop it. I will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in the USA, not driven overseas.
I will support the right to self-custody to the nation’s 50 million crypto holders. I say this with your vote. I will keep Elizabeth Warren and her goons away from your Bitcoin, and I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency.”
Earlier this month, Trump went after the crypto vote by announcing that he’s “fine” with digital assets, simultaneously calling out Democrats and Gary Gensler, the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), saying they are anti-crypto.
Later on, he announced that his campaign would be accepting crypto donations in the forms of popular virtual currencies such as BTC, Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP, Solana (SOL) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
