In his bid for a second term, former United States President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he is now accepting cryptocurrency payments via his official website. According to a press release, the crypto donations feature is powered by crypto exchange Coinbase.

"This addition to President Trump's already groundbreaking digital fundraising campaign marks the first time a major party Presidential nominee has embraced cryptocurrency for donations," it reads.

According to the webpage, Trump accepts donations in popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Solana, and more. At an event for holders of his NFT project, Trump said earlier this month that he's "good" with crypto now, despite previously speaking out against Bitcoin.
