The United States must not settle for anything but top place in the cryptocurrency industry, according to former U.S. president Donald Trump.

"Our country must be the leader in the field, there is no second place," Trump declared in a May 25 post on Truth Social.

"I am very positive and open minded to cryptocurrency companies, and all things related to this new and burgeoning industry,"

"CROOKED JOE BIDEN, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, WANTS IT TO DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH ME!"

Trump's recent positive attitude towards crypto has raised expectations among the crypto industry of his potential victory.

This comes just after Trump announced his presidential campaign would accept cryptocurrency donations. On May 21, the Trump 2024 campaign said it had launched a fundraising page for eligible people to donate in crypto using the Coinbase Commerce product.

The website featured logos for Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, Shiba, Xrp, Sol ad Ox.

Along with Trump making positive public announcements about crypto, he has also reportedly met with crypto enthusiasts.

Recent reports indicated that people who purchased Trump's

"Mugshot" non-fungible tokens (NFTs) had the opportunity to dine with the former president on May 8 at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

This dinner was part of the agreement tied to buying the digital trading cards, which feature his mug shot taken during his surrender at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia.
