💰 Trump's campaign may have strong support, receiving up to $7.5 million in cryptocurrency donations!
Trump's latest campaign has received a large wave of cryptocurrency donations, totaling up to $7.5 million! Yes, you heard it right, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and even stablecoins Tether and USD Coin have come to support former President Trump.
These donations started in early June and lasted until the end of September. It seems that the cryptocurrency industry's support for Trump is not covered up!
Think about it, Trump was skeptical about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency earlier, but later became the first major presidential candidate to accept digital asset donations. He also announced at the Nashville Bitcoin Conference in July that his campaign had raised $25 million from the cryptocurrency industry!
The donors on this donation list come from all walks of life, from software engineers to sales engineers to producers, and even include several big names in the cryptocurrency industry. For example, David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., donated more than $498,000 worth of Bitcoin, and Stuart Alderoty, Chief Legal Officer of Ripple, donated $300,000 worth of XRP.
But interestingly, Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple, donated $1 million worth of XRP to a super PAC supporting the Democratic Party (to which Harris belongs). It seems that even in the same industry, people's political support is diversified.
However, when it comes to donations, our billionaire twin brothers Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss are also big donors to Trump's campaign, each donating nearly $1.1 million. However, some funds were returned in September due to exceeding the legal donation limit.
Among the new donors is Chase Herro, co-founder of Trump's new crypto project World Liberty Financial. This project aims to be a decentralized bank that encourages everyone to borrow, lend and invest in the world of cryptocurrency. Although there were some technical problems at the launch, their token sale was quite successful.
💬 It seems that Trump's campaign has gained new momentum with the support of the cryptocurrency community. Do you think these donations will have an impact on Trump's election results?
