Justin Sun Calls for Pro-Crypto Presidential Candidate Support

TRON founder Justin Sun has urged the blockchain community to support a pro-crypto presidential candidate. In a statement on Sunday, Sun emphasized the need for the cryptocurrency community to back a candidate who endorses digital assets. He stated that the community, companies, and protocols are significant stakeholders whose voices should be heard and interests protected.

On Monday, Sun reinforced his message in a post on X, advocating for unity within the cryptocurrency sector. He argued that the community should send a clear signal that their interests need to be encouraged and protected. Sun warned that candidates who fail to support the cryptocurrency industry risk losing the votes of 50 million cryptocurrency users.

Trump and Biden’s Positions on Cryptocurrency

As political tensions rise ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November, the candidates’ stances on cryptocurrency have come under scrutiny. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has expressed strong support for the cryptocurrency sector.

Trump announced that if elected, he would pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. He stated that he is positive and open-minded towards cryptocurrency companies and believes the U.S. should lead in this field. Trump criticized current President Joe Biden, accusing him of wanting to hinder the cryptocurrency industry.

In contrast, President Biden has taken a regulatory approach toward digital assets. Recently, he announced his intention to veto efforts to overturn the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) SAB121. Biden’s campaign has highlighted the financial backing Trump has received from cryptocurrency executives, noting that Trump’s campaign raised $50 million in a recent gala event, surpassing Biden’s fundraising efforts.

Election Impact and Voter Priorities

Data indicates that digital assets are a key issue for 20% of voters in swing states. The contrasting positions of Trump and Biden on cryptocurrency are likely to influence voters’ decisions. Trump and Biden are currently close in the polls, and the support of the cryptocurrency sector could be a significant factor in the election outcome.

As the election draws nearer, the cryptocurrency community’s stance and its potential impact on voter preferences are becoming more evident. The differing approaches of the candidates towards digital assets are set to play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape.
