Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pledged to end the US government's hostility towards cryptocurrencies if elected. Kennedy argues that Americans need financial sovereignty and a decentralized, transparent currency to guard against totalitarianism. He cited the Canadian government's freezing of fiat and crypto assets of "Freedom Convoy" protesters as an example of why this is necessary. Kennedy also criticized the Biden administration for driving crypto technology abroad and promised to ensure America remains a hub for blockchain technology. He is currently polling at 9.8%, according to FiveThirtyEight.
