Trump Says He’s ‘Good’ with Crypto

Former President Donald Trump gave his personal support to cryptocurrency at a special event for Trump non-fungible token (NFT) holders Wednesday who were gathered at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

“I’m fine with it,” Trump said in a clip widely shared on X. “I want to make sure it’s good and solid, but I’m good with it. If you like crypto in any form — it comes in a lot of different forms — if you’re in favour of crypto you’d better vote for Trump.”

He then expanded on the crypto theme.

Trump said U.S. crypto firms are leaving because of what he called “hostility” from Democrats and Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler.

“Crypto is moving out of the U.S. because of hostility towards crypto,” Trump said. “We’ll stop it because I don’t want that—if we’re going to embrace it, we have to let them be here.”
