Cryptocurrency and the 2024 US Election
J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 US Presidential Election, has strong ties to the tech industry. This has sparked interest from Silicon Valley conservatives who see Vance as a potential ally in their fight for less regulation in areas like AI and **cryptocurrency**.
Vance, a venture capitalist and author, has a background in Silicon Valley. He has served in the US Senate since 2022, representing Ohio. Some investors have highlighted Vance’s previous cryptocurrency investments, seeing it as a sign that he understands the future of the economy.
Vance has also been involved in bringing together tech industry figures and Trump supporters. He helped organize a fundraiser for Trump at a San Francisco mansion in June 2023, where Trump promoted cryptocurrency and criticized Democratic attempts to regulate the sector.
It remains to be seen how Vance’s tech background will influence the Trump-Vance campaign’s platform on issues like cryptocurrency regulation. The campaign has not yet commented on their specific tech policies or whether Vance still holds crypto assets.
While some see Vance as a potential champion for **crypto**, others are cautious. Vance has previously criticized Google and called for its breakup, a stance that may not align with all Silicon Valley conservatives.
