Crypto Insiders Hope for Possible Mention in Biden-Trump Debate
Summary
The U.S. presidential election has brought cryptocurrencies to the forefront as a major policy issue. Crypto advocacy groups are lobbying for the topic to be addressed in the upcoming debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Stand With Crypto organized an online letter-writing campaign to urge CNN to include a question about crypto in the debate. Both candidates have taken contrasting stances on digital assets, with Trump showing support for U.S. crypto mining and opposing a central bank digital currency, while Biden's administration has shown interest in studying CBDCs and taxing miners. The industry is eager for a sustained debate on the candidates' approach to digital assets.
