Presidential candidate Trump: Firmly opposed to CBDC
Will cryptocurrency enthusiasts sway the US election?
Former US President Donald Trump recently achieved an overwhelming victory with over 50% support in the Republican primaries, solidifying his path to running in the 2024 US presidential election. However, according to reports, Trump declared during a public speech in New Hampshire on January 17 that he would absolutely not allow the US federal government to create a central bank digital currency (CBDC) if elected.
In his speech, Trump stated:
This statement was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience, and Trump continued:
The 60th US presidential election will take place on November 5, 2024. As the cryptocurrency community continues to grow, presidential candidates in this election may also have to take this trend seriously and make policy commitments to address the concerns and importance of this group. John Reed Stark, former Chief of the Internet Enforcement Division at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), who has always held a negative attitude towards cryptocurrencies, expressed on social media that although he believes cryptocurrencies are a Ponzi scheme, due to the increasing size of this group, presidential candidates will have to recruit talent familiar with this field and actively participate in relevant discussions to gain the support of this community. John Reed Stark stated:
“From this perspective, ownership of cryptocurrencies is like a spirit, a way of life, a culture, and a worldview. This could potentially transform cryptocurrency enthusiasts into single-issue voters, greatly influencing the election outcome.”
