The Republican National Committee has unveiled its 2024 GOP Platform, prominently featuring policies that protect the cryptocurrency industry. The platform, aligning with Donald Trump's "America First" policies, includes a specific policy dedicated to safeguarding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The GOP's commitment to crypto is outlined in the third chapter of the platform, which aims to "build the greatest economy in history" by promoting innovation. The party promises to terminate the Democrats' "unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown" and opposes the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

The platform also pledges to protect citizens' rights to mine Bitcoin, self-custody their crypto, and ensure all Americans can transact free of government surveillance and control. This move marks the Republican's first official endorsement of crypto as part of its long-term agenda, aligning with their Presidential candidate Donald Trump's support for the sector.

The GOP also promises to protect innovation in artificial intelligence (AI), a field closely aligned with several publicly traded Bitcoin miners. The party plans to repeal Joe Biden's executive order that allegedly hinders AI innovation and imposes radical leftwing ideas on the development of this technology.
