Former President and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will deliver the keynote address at the world’s largest cryptocurrency conference.
Trump will speak at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday as he seeks to make cryptocurrency a wedge issue between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival.
Trump was once a major skeptic of the cryptocurrency industry, saying in 2019, “We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever. It is called the United States Dollar!”
But his campaign has embraced the concept in recent years as libertarian-minded financial technology advocates have pitched crypto as an avenue of decentralizing wealth.
Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, brings his own crypto street cred to the presidential race.
Cryptocurrency traders hope that the former president’s keynote speech will help move Bitcoin more into the mainstream.
