Trump has made several pro-crypto statements as part of his campaign, including promises to ease federal regulations on cryptocurrencies and create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Earlier this month, he vowed to make America “the world capital of crypto and Bitcoin” if he wins the election.

Trump’s embrace of cryptocurrencies marks a shift in his stance. Trump, who has previously criticized digital assets, has now adopted a more positive approach, likely trying to attract campaign donations and voters as he faces a competitive race for the White House.

He admitted that his interest in crypto was initially lukewarm, but the success of Trump-branded digital trading cards, or NFTs, changed his perspective. According to financial disclosures made in August, these NFTs, which feature images of Trump dancing, dressing up as a superhero and holding Bitcoin, earned him about $7.2 million through a licensing deal in 2023.
