Former President Donald Trump has surprisingly declared his support for the cryptocurrency industry, promising to make the United States a global leader in this field if re-elected. Trump emphasized his support for the right to self-custody for the 50 million crypto holders in the country and vowed to keep Senator Elizabeth Warren, a known critic of cryptocurrencies, away from Bitcoin.

In direct opposition to the current administration's stance on digital currencies, Trump stated he would never authorize Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and pledged to end President Joe Biden's efforts to suppress crypto.

Trump #also made a significant statement regarding Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road market, suggesting he would consider Ulbricht's life sentence as already served if he returns to the White House. Ulbricht's case is iconic in the crypto community, seen by many as an example of harsh punishment for facilitating Bitcoin transactions.

Trump concluded by attacking President Biden, claiming Biden wants the cryptocurrency industry to "die a slow and painful death," and asserted that this would never happen under his leadership.$BTC
