Trump’s Activities and Harris’ Campaign Stance
Trump recently launched his fourth series of NFT trading cards, “Series 4: The America First Collection,” which has generated more than $2 million in sales. He has also hinted at involvement in a cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial, created by his sons. During a Bitcoin conference in July, Trump promised to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler if elected and proposed creating a “strategic Bitcoin reserve.”
Harris, by contrast, has not directly mentioned cryptocurrencies, although her campaign advisers have indicated support for measures that would help grow the digital asset industry.
