Donald Trump has gained the support of the digital asset sector after he asserted that a vote for him is a vote for cryptocurrencies.
The former United States president from 2017 to 2021 Donald Trump will be attending the 2024 Bitcoin Conference and raising funds during the events as well. As per a report, the billionaire has invited crypto enthusiasts to come to the conference and attend a roundtable discussion after paying a whopping $844,600.
A report from Bloomberg, citing people who will be attending the 2024 Bitcoin Conference, said that the invitations are a representation of the Trump campaign’s fundraising efforts in Nashville, Tennessee, a state where Republicans have mostly won since the 1950s. It is important to note that the conference will take place from July 25–27, and the former US president will be a speaker.
Along with paying close to a million dollars to be a part of the roundtable, individuals can pay $60,000, and couples can pay around $100,000 for photoshoots with the former president of the US. Some of the high-profile personalities that would be a part of the conference include Trump’s VP choice, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio; Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn.; former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy; and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, who confirmed the Bloomberg report.
Further, only 150 donors will be part of the exclusive Bitcoin Conference and will gain a front-row seat to the billionaire’s Bitcoin speech that the crypto sector has been waiting for since it was announced that Trump will be present at the conference.
On the other hand, according to Polymarkets, a decentralized prediction market platform, the chances of Trump winning the 2024 presidential elections stand at 62%, while Joe Biden’s chances have fallen to 7% after the current US president was tested positive for COVID-19.
Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States, now has a 22% chance of becoming president, Polymarket confirms. Bets worth $35.4 million have been placed on Trump, $38.5 million on Biden, and $18.95 million on Harris.
Donald Trump and Crypto
Donald Trump has gained the support of the digital asset sector after the billionaire asserted that a vote for him is a vote for cryptocurrencies. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the billionaire said:
“If I throw it aside, it’s going to be picked up in another country, most likely China – they’re pretty advanced in that sphere. So you have to look at it – what I want, again, is what is good for the country.”
Additionally, billionaire Mark Cuban supported Trump and predicted a thriving digital asset sector under the leadership of the Republican candidate. Moreover, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, the founders of a16z, declared their support for the former US president as well.
