Donald Trump and Nikki Haley intensify campaign efforts
With Ron DeSantis exiting the presidential race, Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are ramping up their campaign efforts ahead of the New Hampshire primary. Recent polls show Trump with a significant lead over Haley, with 55% support compared to her 36%. A Washington Post-Monmouth University poll also indicates that 52% of potential primary voters favor Trump, while Haley has 34% support.
Trump’s success in the NFT market
One interesting aspect of Trump’s engagement in the digital asset market is his foray into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). His latest NFT debut is set to launch on Bitcoin Ordinals. According to reports from December, Trump’s NFT royalties have already surpassed $4 million. He has also converted a portion of his Ethereum holdings into cash, selling about 1,075 ETH for $2.4 million after accumulating them over time.
Divergent views on central bank digital currency
In terms of policy, Trump has expressed opposition to the creation of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), aligning himself with other Republicans who view Biden’s proposed Fed digital dollar as a surveillance tool. On the other hand, Nikki Haley’s stance on cryptocurrency remains unclear.
The impact on the crypto sector
Haley’s lack of a clear position on cryptocurrency makes it difficult to predict her impact on the crypto sector. Meanwhile, Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus commented on the political scenario, suggesting potential challenges for the Democratic Party in the general election.
Hot Take: The candidates’ stances and the future of digital currencies
The upcoming presidential race and its discussion around cryptocurrency policies will play a significant role in shaping the future of digital currencies in the U.S. It remains to be seen how Trump and Haley’s positions on cryptocurrency will influence this landscape.
