As the 2024 U.S. presidential election draws near, the cryptocurrency agenda is taking centre stage, especially between Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate, and GOP nominee Donald Trump.

Kennedy’s critical view comes even as he commits to significant pro-Bitcoin policies if elected.
Kennedy’s Bold Bitcoin Promises
Kennedy, though currently polling at 8%, is making waves with his ambitious cryptocurrency proposals. He has pledged that under his administration, the U.S.
Treasury would amass Bitcoin reserves equivalent to the nation’s gold holdings and would exempt Bitcoin from taxation. His stance represents a stark contrast to traditional fiscal policies, aiming to integrate Bitcoin deeply into the U.S. financial system.
Market Implications and Analyst Perspectives
The political endorsements of cryptocurrency are stirring discussions about the future of digital assets in U.S. regulations.
While Trump has reversed his earlier critical view of cryptocurrencies, calling them a “scam” in 2021, his current pro-crypto stance is viewed by some, like economist Peter Schiff, as purely tactical.
Conversely, analysts at Bernstein suggest that a Trump re-election could herald favourable shifts in crypto regulations, potentially invigorating the market.
As both candidates court the crypto community, their policies could significantly influence not only voter preferences but also the broader financial landscape involving digital assets.
