Facing several criminal cases, the presumptive Republican Party nominee for U.S. President is expected to face off against President Joe Biden in November 2024.
Former United States President Donald Trump, currently facing criminal charges in four jurisdictions in the country, announced his campaign to run for president in 2024 would accept cryptocurrency donations.
In a May 21 notice, the Trump 2024 campaign said it had launched a fundraising page for eligible people to donate in crypto using the Coinbase Commerce product. The website featured logos for Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), XRP, USD Coin (USDC), Solana (SOL) and 0x (ZRX). The announcement cited Senator Elizabeth Warren’s attacks on cryptocurrency, claiming without evidence that she was acting as U.S. President Joe Biden’s “official surrogate” in Congress.
During a May 8 dinner for supporters who purchased a nonfungible token featuring a mugshot at his surrender in a Georgia jail, Trump said he would ensure attendees could make donations to his campaign in crypto. With less than six months until Election Day, Trump is the presumptive Republican Party nominee for U.S. President in 2024. He will likely face off against President Biden, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee.
