Summary

By now, folks have at least heard of Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency was once little-known but now has become central to the 2024 presidential race as both candidates are now vying for the support of the crypto industry. Former President Trump has been active in making himself the crypto candidate, suggesting industry-friendly policy. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly now trying to play catchup and make nice with the crypto companies after years of strict regulation from the Biden White House. FBN Correspondent Kelly O’Grady has been covering cryptocurrency’s impact on this campaign from the very beginning. Tonight, Friday, at 8:00 PM ET on the FOX Business Network, she’ll share exclusive interviews and coverage in her TV special, “The Crypto Campaign.” She speaks with Trustless Media CEO and Coinage host Zack Guzman to preview why cryptocurrency has become so influential in the 2024 presidential race.
