Former president Donald Trump\u2019s 180 on crypto continues.<\/p>\n
Axios, citing \u201ctwo sources familiar with the matter,\u201d reports<\/a> that Trump is now in talks to speak at the Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) 2024 convention<\/a> in Nashville next month.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the culmination of a sharp turn for the former president, who used to be a crypto critic. In May 2018, while serving in the Oval Office, he reportedly directed then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to \u201cgo after Bitcoin [for fraud].\u201d<\/p>\n Three years later, Trump\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in an interview that he owned zero cryptocurrencies, arguing that digital assets were \u201ca disaster waiting to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n The former president has since changed course, however, spending the past couple of years gradually warming up to the sector in a bid to raise funds for the upcoming election and differentiate himself from the Biden Administration, which some crypto stakeholders view as hostile towards digital assets.<\/p>\n In December 2022, Trump\u00a0launched<\/a>\u00a0a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum (ETH<\/a>)-based platform OpenSea, weeks after formally announcing his intention to run for the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n On the campaign trail this year, the former president has said he will \u201cend<\/a> Joe Biden\u2019s war on crypto\u201d and be \u201cthe crypto president<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n His 2024 presidential campaign has also started accepting crypto donations, receiving $2 million<\/a> worth of Bitcoin from Gemini crypto exchange co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.<\/p>\n The Bitcoin 2024 conference is scheduled for July 25th-27th. Slated speakers include fellow 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Republican primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and the famous whistleblower Edward Snowden, among others.<\/p>\n In May, a jury found Trump guilty<\/a> on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records ahead of the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss a Beat \u2013 Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em>  <\/p>\n Generated Image: Midjourney<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former president Donald Trump\u2019s 180 on crypto continues.
