Trump’s decision to release another series is reportedly driven by public demand and the growing excitement within the cryptocurrency community.
“I’m going to do another one because the people want me to do another one,” Trump stated in the interview on July 16. “We had one year to sell it out and it sold out in one day.”
A Shift in Perspective
“I would say almost all of it was paid in crypto, in this new currency. And it opened my eyes,” Trump revealed.
This experience has reportedly reinforced his belief in the importance of the U.S. leading the global cryptocurrency industry.
“It’s a baby. It’s an infant right now. But I don’t want to be responsible for allowing another country to take over this sphere,” Trump emphasized.
He expressed concern that if the U.S. ignores the potential of cryptocurrency, other nations, particularly China, could dominate the industry.
Trump acknowledged the evolving perspectives of traditional banking executives towards cryptocurrency. He noted that figures like the CEO of JP Morgan have become more accepting of digital currencies over the years. “Crypto is not going away,” Trump asserted.
Crypto and Trump’s Campaign
The former president’s embrace of cryptocurrency extends to his political campaign. In May, Trump’s campaign began accepting crypto donations.
