The latest news BREAKING IN Crypto: Donald Trump has started accepting crypto donations
The Trump 2024 campaign has launched a fundraising page that allows eligible individuals to contribute crypto donations using Coinbase Commerce. That's right, you can now donate Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, XRP, USD Coin, Solana, and 0x to support Trump's campaign.
Interestingly, the announcement referenced Senator Elizabeth Warren's criticisms of cryptocurrencies and accused her of acting as President Joe Biden's spokesperson on the matter. It seems like Trump is not a fan of Warren's views on crypto.
It's also worth mentioning that during a recent dinner for supporters who purchased a non-fungible token (NFT) featuring a mugshot of Trump, the former president expressed his intention to enable campaign donations in cryptocurrency. With less than six months remaining until the 2024 Election Day, Trump is considered the presumptive Republican Party nominee, poised to face President Biden, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee.
While Trump's campaign website now accepts cryptocurrency donations, his "issues" page does not currently discuss this topic. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if other political campaigns follow suit.
So what do you think about this? Do you believe that accepting crypto donations is a smart move for political campaigns? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for tuning in!
