According to a report from Axios, Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump might be making an appearance at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville this July. The news outlet cited two sources familiar with the discussions, suggesting that Trump is in talks to speak at the prominent cryptocurrency event.
Other notable political figures are also slated to speak at the conference, including presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Republican Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn.
Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, has been vocal about his support for cryptocurrency in the lead-up to the November election. At a recent event at Mar-a-Lago, he told attendees that he would advocate for bitcoin mining if he returned to the White House, highlighting miners' contributions to energy grid stability. Additionally, Trump expressed his willingness to accept political donations in the form of cryptocurrency and pledged to halt what he described as "Joe Biden's crusade to crush crypto."
In contrast, President Joe Biden's re-election campaign has been engaging with members of the crypto industry for advice on digital asset policies. This marks a notable shift from the Biden administration's previously less favorable stance on cryptocurrency. Both Trump and Biden are set to face off in a debate on Thursday, hosted by CNN.
