Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump is set to address one of the crypto industry’s largest upcoming conferences in Nashville, Tennessee, later this month. The Bitcoin 2024 conference, scheduled from July 25-27, announced on Wednesday that Trump will be the event’s main headliner.
Trump Supports American Bitcoin Industry
Trump’s participation in the Bitcoin 2024 conference is a significant move, aligning with his pro-crypto stance. According to the conference website, Trump declared his support for the American Bitcoin industry in May 2024, advocating for financial freedom and the growth of the U.S. Bitcoin sector on the global stage.
The former U.S. President is scheduled to speak for 30 minutes, starting at 2:00 PM CT on the final day of the conference, July 27, as confirmed by a conference spokesperson to CoinDesk. Some speakers reported receiving notifications about rearrangements in the schedule to accommodate Trump as a “very special guest.”
Key Figures and Prominent Speakers
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, will share the stage with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy at the conference. This prominent appearance underscores Trump’s efforts to convert crypto enthusiasm into votes for his campaign.
The Bitcoin 2024 event, titled “Witness History,” will feature an impressive lineup of speakers, including:
- Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood
- MicroStrategy Chair Michael Saylor
- Republican Vivek Ramaswamy
- Senators Marsha Blackburn, Cynthia Lummis, and Bill Hagerty
Crypto Policy and Campaign Initiatives
Trump’s appearance at the conference is part of his latest crypto-focused election campaign. In May, he began accepting Bitcoin donations, setting the stage for a significant debate on U.S. crypto policy.
The Republican party also made a significant pledge on Monday to end the “crypto crackdown” by the current administration. The party’s document stated, “Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and un-American crypto crackdown,” and vowed to oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency.
Trump has also committed to protecting the right to self-custody for America’s nearly 50 million crypto holders if he is elected president. During a fundraising event in San Francisco in June, Trump promised to become a “crypto president,” further affirming his commitment to the crypto industry.
Conclusion
As Trump prepares to take the stage at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, his support for the crypto industry continues to be a central theme in his presidential campaign. This strategic move aims to galvanize the crypto community and leverage their enthusiasm to bolster his bid for the presidency. The event promises to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing discourse on U.S. crypto policy and regulation.
