Odaily Planet Daily News: Pierre Poilievre, a popular candidate for Canadian Prime Minister, said he supports cryptocurrencies and DeFi. Previously, in 2022, Poilievre invested in the Purpose Bitcoin ETF, demonstrating his commitment to digital assets, although his current holdings have not been disclosed. His campaign platform includes the establishment of favorable regulations for crypto companies and treating crypto assets as commodities for tax purposes. Poilievre opposes the implementation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and supports Bill C-400 to regulate CBDCs. Since 2004, Poilievre has advocated reduced government intervention, enhanced economic independence, and the vision that Canadians can get rid of inflation through the use of cryptocurrencies.
