Cryptocurrencies may take center stage in Biden-Trump debate
In the upcoming presidential debate, cryptocurrencies may become the focus of discussion. To this end, the cryptocurrency advocacy group Stand With Crypto has launched an online letter-writing campaign, which has been signed by nearly 2,300 people, calling on CNN hosts to raise cryptocurrency-related issues. Sabrina Siddiqui, a spokeswoman for the group, said it will help voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on this important economic issue. President Biden's digital asset policy record includes multiple executive orders and actions by regulators, while Trump has shifted from skepticism in the past to support cryptocurrency mining and oppose central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). According to Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, this marks a significant advance for cryptocurrencies in the national political debate.
