**News Flash: Trump Vows to Make US Crypto Capital**

In a fiery speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, former President Donald Trump pledged to make the US the global hub for cryptocurrency. Trump promised that if re-elected, his administration would retain all Bitcoin currently held by the US government, which totals around 212,847 BTC, valued at $14.4 billion.

However, experts like Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp highlight potential legal challenges, especially concerning Bitcoin seized from the Bitfinex hack. Trump also hinted at commuting Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht's sentence, adding another layer of complexity to his crypto promises.
