American presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced the launch of a cryptocurrency company called World Liberty Financial. The aim of this venture is to boost donations to his presidential campaign, which has been trailing behind that of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Purpose of Launching Crypto Company
The World Liberty Financial crypto company plans to introduce a token that will be sold to the public. The project's founders will also receive a portion of the tokens as compensation for their work. This move is intended to attract donors from the cryptocurrency community who may be interested in supporting Trump’s campaign.
Trump’s Stance on Cryptocurrencies
Donald Trump has previously voiced negative opinions about cryptocurrencies, calling Bitcoin a scam against the dollar. However, as part of his presidential campaign, he has changed his stance, promising to loosen the rules and regulations around cryptocurrencies. Trump stated that he will support the right to mine Bitcoin by lowering fees and ensuring access to the cheapest energy through fossil and nuclear fuels.
Investor Support
The launch of Trump's cryptocurrency company has received backing from several influential Silicon Valley investors, including billionaire venture capitalists Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, prominent cryptocurrency advocates, have also expressed their support for the campaign, pledging to donate $1 million.
The new World Liberty Financial project may significantly impact the fundraising efforts for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The introduction of a cryptocurrency token could attract additional donors and strengthen Trump's position in the presidential race.
