Odaily Planet Daily News: Chris Giancarlo, former chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), recently highlighted the key role of former U.S. President Donald Trump in the cryptocurrency industry. At the Cryptocurrency Policy Summit in Washington, D.C., Giancarlo called Trump "America's first crypto president." The title stems from the Trump administration's approval of Bitcoin futures in its first year in office. He also emphasized the importance of approving Bitcoin futures during Trump's administration: "The lasting success of this regulated futures market helps ensure that the world's first digital commodity - Bitcoin - is priced in U.S. dollars," he emphasized the importance of Bitcoin to the future of digital assets. Giancarlo further pointed out that in 2017, cryptocurrency was not a political issue because he and other CFTC commissioners "unanimously supported regulatory innovation." However, it has now become a political topic. Earlier this month, Trump met with cryptocurrency enthusiasts and announced his decision to accept cryptocurrency as campaign contributions. He also claimed that President Joe Biden "doesn't even know" what cryptocurrency is, and declared that "if you support cryptocurrency, you'd better vote for Trump." (Bitcoin.com)
