Former U.S. President and anticipated Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, will deliver a keynote address at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, scheduled from July 25 to 27. This announcement underscores Trump’s recent alignment with the cryptocurrency industry, marking a significant shift in his political agenda.
In recent months, Trump has voiced robust support for the crypto sector, earning endorsements from influential figures such as Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell, and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood. His stance includes promises to advocate for bitcoin mining, uphold principles of self-custody for cryptocurrencies, seek the release of Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht, and oppose the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) if elected president.
Alongside Trump, the Bitcoin 2024 conference will feature other prominent U.S. political figures, including independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., potential Trump VP contender Vivek Ramaswamy, and Republican Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn.
This event is expected to serve as a crucial forum for discussing the future of digital assets and their interaction with political policies. It will draw stakeholders from various sectors to engage in pivotal conversations about the evolving cryptocurrency landscape in the United States.
