JAKARTA - Former President Donald Trump surprised many with his new commitment to the crypto world. At a fundraising event held in San Francisco, Trump promised to become a crypto president' who would support the development of the industry. Events attended by well-known tech figures such as David Sacks of Craft Ventures and Chamath Palihapitiya, managed to raise funds of 12 million US Dollars (around Rp195 billion), signaling strong support ahead of the US presidential election on November 5.
According to CryptoNews information, Trump affirmed his commitment to supporting the development of the crypto industry, while warning about the potential for strict regulation from the Democratic Party. Trump's support for crypto is in line with a broader strategy to differentiate itself from current government policies. President Joe Biden recently received criticism from the crypto community after veto-resolution seeking to cancel the Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 121 from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which requires institutions that store crypto assets to record them as obligations on their balance sheets.
