While the Democratic administration has previously imposed several <a href="https://coinpedia.org/cryptocurrency-regulation/cryptocurrency-regulation-in-the-usa/">regulatory measures </a>on the industry, recent developments like the SEC’s approval of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ethereum-etf-approved-what-this-means-for-bitcoin-and-altcoins/">spot Ethereum ETFs</a> show a slightly more supportive approach. There is even talk of launching a “Crypto for Harris” campaign.

Against this backdrop, the upcoming interview between Donald Trump and business leader Elon Musk is generating a lot of interest. Set for Monday at 8 PM EST on X Spaces, the discussion is expected to cover various topics, including the future of crypto. While it’s hard to predict the interview’s impact on the election, Musk’s past support for Trump and his positive view of the crypto sector make this event particularly significant.

X Spaces is preparing for heavy traffic during the live interview and has conducted system scaling tests to handle the expected surge. With Musk’s influence and the crypto community’s strong presence on X, the interview could potentially sway public opinion and benefit the Republican camp. How much impact this will have depends on how well the Democratic side can respond to any major statements made about crypto during the discussion. 
Musk has revealed that the interview will be unscripted, meaning the conversation could cover a broad range of topics without restrictions. Expect discussions on finance, crypto, and possibly even geopolitical issues.
