Recent minutes have seen a surge of news featuring Trump and cryptocurrency-focused developments. The first significant announcement involved the WLFI project. The second was Trump’s message celebrating the anniversary of the Bitcoin $70,584 White Paper. With the U.S. elections approaching, cryptocurrency remains a key topic on the agenda.
Trump and Cryptocurrencies
World Liberty Financial has emerged as one of the major events in recent months. The potential new president has entered the cryptocurrency sector, with his family actively participating in the project. Trump’s comments at the 2024 Bitcoin event have further solidified the WLFI initiative’s impact. However, a challenge has arisen; despite the launch of the token being only days ago, demand has not met expectations. This has led the project, aiming to raise $300 million, to announce a significant reduction of its target to $30 million.
Previous reports indicated that the project’s costs alone were estimated at $30 million. Therefore, Trump has reached a point where covering costs could be considered sufficient.
Celebrating the Bitcoin White Paper
The second major announcement pertained to the anniversary of the Bitcoin White Paper publication.
“I congratulate the large Bitcoin family. I want to celebrate the 16th anniversary of Satoshi’s White Paper. We will end Kamala’s war against crypto, and Bitcoin will be MINED in the U.S.! VOTE FOR TRUMP!”
As the elections draw near, Trump is soliciting support from crypto investors while continuing to position Kamala as anti-crypto.
