Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, claims that the Republican presidential runner Donald Trump “is the right choice” for the growth of the crypto ecosystem. 
Young Ju pointed out Trump’s latest web3 project, World Liberty Financial, and his influential <a href="https://crypto.news/pro-trumps-bitcoin-2024-speech-pressured-harris-to-embrace-crypto/" target="_blank">speech</a> at the Bitcoin 2024 conference.&nbsp;

Per a recent crypto.news report, WLF <a href="https://crypto.news/trump-backed-world-libertyfi-wants-to-build-on-aave-platform/" target="_blank">submitted a proposal</a> to launch its Aave v3 instance to provide stablecoin liquidity for Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" target="_blank">ETH</a>) and Wrapped Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/wrapped-bitcoin/" target="_blank">WBTC</a>). This could potentially increase the decentralized finance protocol’s user base.

The CryptoQuant CEO faced criticism after sharing the pro-Trump post on X. One user called the Republican candidate a “scam artist,” adding that Trump “had plenty of opportunities in his previous term to promote crypto.” 
Meanwhile, Harris claimed to “build an opportunity economy” for crypto and artificial intelligence in her only <a href="https://crypto.news/kamala-harris-on-crypto-first-public-statement/" target="_blank">public statement</a> about the industry. Young Ju says that “the lack of regulation” in Harris’ presidency “could cause another downturn.” 
Notably, neither Trump nor Harris mentioned anything about cryptocurrencies and DeFi in their <a href="https://crypto.news/trump-harris-tied-on-polymarket-following-debate/" target="_blank">debate</a> on Sept. 10. 
Trump’s latest <a href="https://crypto.news/trump-extends-lead-on-polymarket-after-pivotal-speech-with-elon-musk/" target="_blank">speech</a> along with Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla, in Butler, Pennsylvania brought more supporters to the Republican candidate, extending his lead on the market prediction platform Polymarket. 
According to data provided by Polymarket, Trump’s chance of winning the U.S. presidential race is currently at 54.4% — 9.4% greater than Harris’ 45%.
