Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign has officially started accepting cryptocurrency donations, marking the first time a major party presidential nominee has done so. The campaign will accept a variety of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, USDC, XRP, and ADA, through the Coinbase Commerce product, Coinbase Wallet, and MetaMask. This move follows a promise made by Trump two weeks ago at an event in Florida. The campaign aims to build a 'crypto army' to support his bid for re-election, positioning itself in contrast to the current administration and its stance on cryptocurrency. Trump's embrace of digital currencies is seen as a significant step in integrating crypto into mainstream political fundraising.
