PANews reported on June 13 that The Block quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that US President Biden's campaign team is discussing with people in the cryptocurrency industry to accept cryptocurrency donations through Coinbase Commerce. Coinbase Commerce allows merchants to accept dozens of cryptocurrency payments. Just a few weeks ago, Donald Trump began accepting cryptocurrency donations through Coinbase Commerce. It is reported that Biden's campaign team has begun to increase its engagement with the crypto community in recent weeks, shortly after Trump attracted attention for taking a pro-cryptocurrency stance. A person familiar with the matter said that people in Biden's core circle specifically told the Biden team that if they remained silent on the issue of cryptocurrency, they might lose the election. He emphasized that negotiations on the Biden camp accepting cryptocurrency donations are still "exploratory."
