Donald Trump has announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate for the 2024 election. Vance, a former venture capitalist, is known for his support of cryptocurrency and holds between $100,001 and $250,000 worth of Bitcoin through Coinbase. This selection marks the first pro-crypto presidential ticket in U.S. history. Vance has been critical of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's approach to regulating cryptocurrencies, particularly under Gary Gensler, and has advocated for clearer regulations. He has also disclosed that 6% of his portfolio is in Bitcoin. The Trump-Vance ticket is seen as a significant move for the cryptocurrency industry, potentially shaping a supportive future for digital assets and reflecting a pro-tech and pro-Silicon Valley outlook.
