2024 Presidential Hopefuls Gather for Crypto Discussion under Coinbase's 'Stand With Crypto' Campaign
Summary:
Coinbase's 'Stand With Crypto' campaign will bring together presidential candidates for the 2024 U.S. elections to discuss digital currencies and blockchain. The meeting, on December 11 in New Hampshire, confirmed participants from both Democratic and Republican parties, with notable absentees. Matters of discussion are expected to cover a range of policy issues, including the burgeoning crypto sector.
Coinbase's 'Stand With Crypto' campaign aims to unite contenders for the United States' 2024 Presidential Election for a discussion on digital currencies and blockchain technology. As per the campaign's website on December 4, it was revealed that Asa Hutchinson and Vivek Ramaswamy from the Republican party, and Dean Phillips from the Democratic party, have agreed to join the discussion in person on December 11 in New Hampshire. Other invitees include Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Doug Burgum, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Chris Christie. 'Stand With Crypto' informed that the platform offers the presidential hopefuls a chance to address crypto and blockchain issues head on, amongst other policy matters, in New Hampshire prior to the primary.
The Granite State will be conducting one of the first primaries for the 2024 Presidential Election on January 23. This primary is often seen as an indicator of how the November election might fare. Current resident of the White House, President Joe Biden's name wasn't included in the confirmed nor invited list on the event's site. However, he is expected to represent the Democratic Party. So far, former President Trump hasn't participated in any Republican debates leading up to the 2024 elections. At present, polling data indicates a possible face-off between Trump and Biden in 2024, with Trump leading by double digits over other potential Republican candidates – DeSantis, Haley, and Ramaswamy. A survey conducted by Quinnipiac on November 1 showed RFK Jr. garnering 22% in a three-way competition against Trump and Biden.
How the Dec. 11 forum, just weeks before the primary, impacts voters' crypto-focus is yet to be seen. Candidates like RFK Jr. and Ramaswamy have made digital assets a significant campaign topic, however, front-runners Biden and Trump have been sparing with their public comments on the subject.
In a related news, former Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele vacated his office on December 1 in order to run for the 2024 elections. A strong advocate for embracing Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador, Bukele led numerous government purchases of the digital currency.
