Protecting the Rights to Mine, Self-Custody, and Free Trade
On July 8, 2024, the US Republican Party formally announced its support for cryptocurrency in a publicly released document.
While former President Donald Trump had previously expressed his support for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), this new 16-page document outlines the party’s official stance on cryptocurrency advocacy.
The cryptocurrency policy is outlined on page nine under the section titled “5. Promoting Innovation.”
Specifically, it states the party’s intention to “end the illegal and un-American crackdown on cryptocurrency by the Democrats and oppose the creation of central bank digital currencies.”
Additionally, the document emphasizes protecting “the right to mine Bitcoin” and ensuring “all Americans can self-custody digital assets and trade freely without government oversight or control.”
