Justin Sun Urges Crypto Community Support for Pro-Crypto Candidates
Justin Sun, the founder of layer-1 blockchain TRON, recently called on the crypto community to back a US presidential candidate who supports the digital assets industry. Sun’s statement aligns with other influential figures in the industry who have also emphasized the importance of endorsing pro-crypto candidates.
Influential Figures and Institutional Backing for Pro-Crypto Candidates
In a recent message on Twitter, Sun highlighted the significance of the crypto community, companies, and protocols as essential stakeholders. He stressed the importance of their voices being heard and their interests being safeguarded.
- Sun emphasized the need to demonstrate the importance of the crypto community and its stakeholders.

This call to action from Sun comes after former US President Donald Trump expressed his support for the crypto industry, particularly regarding self-custody in digital assets. While Sun did not mention any specific candidates, there has been speculation within the crypto community about potential endorsements for pro-crypto candidates.
Industry Support for Pro-Crypto Stance
Trump made headlines recently with his commitment to shaping the future of Bitcoin and crypto within the USA, rather than overseas. He also vowed never to allow the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), a stance that gained widespread support from the crypto community.
- Trump’s pro-crypto declarations received praise from prominent figures like Anthony ‘Pomp’ Pompliano.
- Other influential figures in the industry, such as Charles Hoskinson and Mark Cuban, have also voiced their support for pro-crypto candidates.
Furthermore, institutional backing for pro-crypto candidates is growing, with Coinbase establishing a new political action committee (PAC) called “Stand With Crypto.” This PAC aims to financially support political candidates who are favorable towards the crypto industry and its advancements.
Public Opinion and Political Landscape
As the upcoming election approaches, crypto has become a significant issue for voters, with many expressing the desire for policymakers to have a deeper understanding of the industry before enacting regulations. A poll conducted by Digital Currency Group (DCG) revealed that a majority of voters want policymakers to avoid stifling innovation through over-regulation.
- Crypto-positive respondents are concerned about policymakers restricting innovation through stringent regulations.
- The crypto community is closely monitoring which candidates will champion their cause in the current political landscape.
Closing Thoughts: Supporting Pro-Crypto Candidates in the Presidential Race
As the push for pro-crypto candidates gains momentum, it is essential for the crypto community to show solidarity and support for candidates who understand and value the digital assets industry.
