TRON Founder Justin Sun Calls for Support of Pro-Crypto Presidential Candidate Amid Trump, Biden Conflict
Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, is urging members of the blockchain industry to vote for a presidential candidate who supports cryptocurrencies. As tensions rise between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Sun emphasized the importance of the cryptocurrency community’s voice and interests being recognized and protected.
In a statement released on Sunday, Sun stated, “We should support a presidential candidate who endorses cryptocurrencies. We need to show the candidate that the cryptocurrency community, companies, and protocols are significant stakeholders who deserve to be heard and safeguarded.”
Continuing his advocacy for digital assets, Sun reiterated his message in a subsequent post on Monday, calling for unity among the cryptocurrency community. He emphasized the need to send a clear message to society that the industry speaks with a unified voice and that its interests should be promoted and safeguarded. Sun warned that any candidate who fails to do so risks losing the votes of the 50 million cryptocurrency users and potentially losing the election.
Sun’s remarks come at a time of heightened political tension as the U.S. presidential election approaches. Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate, has shown support for the cryptocurrency sector, even announcing his intention to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht if elected. Trump has expressed a positive and open-minded stance towards cryptocurrency, aiming for the U.S. to be a leader in the field.
In contrast, current President Joe Biden has taken a more regulatory approach to digital assets. He recently announced his intention to veto any overturning of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s SAB121. Biden’s campaign also expressed concern about Trump’s fundraising efforts, stating that cryptocurrency executives and oil barons were contributing large sums to Trump’s campaign.
The influence of cryptocurrency may play a significant role in the 2024 presidential election, with data indicating that 20% of voters in swing states view digital assets as a key issue. As the election draws closer, Trump and Biden remain closely matched in the polls.
