<ul>
 <li>The Republican Party, under former President Donald Trump, has adopted a pro-crypto platform in response to Biden’s strict crypto regulations.</li>
 <li>The party’s stance aims to attract crypto voters and counteract the scrutiny of crypto firms under Biden’s administration.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Republican Party has responded to President Joe Biden’s strict regulations against cryptocurrency by adopting a draft platform that supports digital asset innovation. This development is seen as a significant move under the leadership of former President Donald Trump.</p>
<h2 id="the-gop-s-crypto-platform">The GOP’s Crypto Platform</h2>
<p>The platform, approved on the 8th of July, outlines the priorities of the Republican Party and its politicians in relation to digital assets as they prepare for the upcoming November elections. Additionally, the Republican National Committee has adopted the 2024 Republican Party platform, which could potentially boost Trump’s chances in the elections.</p>
<p>The document states, “Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency.” It further adds, “We will defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from Government Surveillance and Control.”</p>
<h2 id="trump-s-shift-towards-crypto">Trump’s Shift Towards Crypto</h2>
<p>This shift towards crypto is seen as a strategic move by Trump, given the growing influence of crypto voters in the current election season. According to a poll conducted by the National Crypto Council in the US, 83% of crypto voters preferred candidates who want to establish clear rules for cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>The Republican Party’s initiative is aimed at attracting more crypto users, especially in light of the recent scrutiny of crypto firms by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Biden’s administration. The party also intends to protect crypto advocates from central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), or “digital dollars,” due to concerns over potential surveillance.</p>
<p>This is a notable shift given Trump’s previous dismissal of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as non-monetary and excessively volatile back in 2019.</p>
<p>Despite Trump’s sudden change in attitude towards crypto raising some speculation, the crypto community seems to favor Trump over Biden. According to Polymarket’s predictions market data, Trump is leading with 62%, compared to Biden who is at 21%.</p>
<p>It’s worth noting that Biden had briefly fallen to third place amidst rumors of Kamala Harris taking his position. However, the latest update shows Biden back in second place, with Trump maintaining his leading position.</p>
