Trump Campaign Now Accepts Crypto Donations via Coinbase

Former U.S. President and presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign now accepts cryptocurrency donations through Coinbase Commerce. The new fundraising page enables federally permissible donors to contribute using any cryptocurrency supported by Coinbase Commerce. President Trump has championed reduced regulations and innovation in financial technology, contrasting with Democrats like Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren, who advocate for more government control. At a recent NFT gala, Trump criticized Biden’s understanding of cryptocurrency, claiming he “doesn’t even know what it is.” Trump declared, “If you are in favor of crypto, you better vote for Trump.” Chris Giancarlo, former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), recently emphasized Trump’s pivotal role in the cryptocurrency industry, calling him “America’s first crypto president” due to the approval of bitcoin futures during his administration.
