Former U.S. President Donald Trump will take the stage as a keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, set to take place in Nashville, Tennessee, from July 25 to 27. Known as one of the world's largest Bitcoin events, the conference will feature a lineup of influential figures in the cryptocurrency space.
Joining Trump at the Bitcoin 2024 conference will be other notable U.S. politicians, such as presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Republican Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn. Kennedy Jr., who delivered a keynote speech at Bitcoin 2023, has been a vocal advocate for crypto, pledging to protect the right to hold and use bitcoin.
In recent months, Trump, the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee, has shown strong support for the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors. At a Mar-a-Lago event last month, he declared his intent to advocate for Bitcoin mining if re-elected. In May, Trump began accepting political donations in cryptocurrencies, a move that has garnered him significant backing from key industry players, including Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood.
In contrast, President Joe Biden’s campaign has reportedly been engaging with members of the crypto industry to shape digital asset policies but has yet to make significant announcements. The Chamber of Progress, a U.S. tech industry group, recently urged Biden in a letter to support comprehensive crypto regulation, noting that Trump has effectively capitalized on the current administration’s lack of clarity in this area.
