It’s also worth mentioning that Biden has faced criticism from the crypto community due to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s enforcement actions and Senator Elizabeth Warren’s anti-crypto stance.
Trump has consistently backed Bitcoin during the 2024 election while promising to protect it from regulation at the Libertarian National Convention. Specifically, he said, “I will keep Elizabeth Warren and her goons away from your Bitcoin, and I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency.”
