Trump lays out plan to turn U.S. into a ‘crypto capital’ and ‘bitcoin superpower’

Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday laid out a plan to turn the country into the “crypto capital of the planet and the bitcoin (BTC-USD) superpower of the world,” in one of the biggest shows of support by a presidential candidate towards the cryptocurrency industry.

Trump’s remarks came amid his keynote address at the three-day Bitcoin 2024 Conference being held in Nashville, Tenn. The former President and his running mate J.D. Vance have been courting votes and donations with the promise of lighter crypto regulation, as opposed to the current Biden administration’s crackdown.
