- Biden intends to veto the US House vote to secure crypto holding by financial firms.
- This gives Trump the chance to rise as a favorable candidate for the crypto community.
- Trump wants to keep crypto businesses in the US and accepts crypto campaign donations.
Despite the US house votes to overturn the SEC rule for preventing highly regulated financial firms from holding crypto assets and Bitcoin (BTC), the hope is immediately crushed. This is because of Biden’s intent to use a veto to hinder it.

In a follow up question another asks if Trump takes donations in crypto. To this, Trump responds yes, but if you can’t he’ll make sure you can. This is another bullish sign to his support for crypto use and holding in the United States.
In the same line of support, US Congressman Patrick McHenry also gives a speech supporting the overturning of the SEC rule that prevents regulated financial firms from custodying Bitcoin and crypto. He also adds that banks should also be allowed to custody Bitcoin ETF funds.
Lastly, Trump shares a tidbit about his take on $BODEN at an NFT event. He says that it’s a lot of money for a coin and is not likely to make that investment. The price of $BODEN currently stands at $0.38 according to CoinMarketCap.
