Ron DeSantis Announces Presidential Bid, Voices Concerns Over Bitcoin’s Future
During a recent Twitter space with Elon Musk and venture capitalist David Sacks, Ron DeSantis officially announced his bid for the U.S. presidency. The Florida governor also expressed concerns about the future of Bitcoin under the current regime.
“The current regime, clearly, has it out for Bitcoin,” DeSantis remarked during the online event. “And if it continues for another four years, they’ll probably end up killing it.”
DeSantis’s comments come amid growing regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrencies in the United States. The Biden administration has proposed new tax reporting requirements for digital asset transactions and is considering stricter rules for stablecoins.
While some lawmakers and financial regulators have expressed concerns about the potential risks of cryptocurrencies, others have argued that they could provide benefits such as financial inclusion and innovation.
As the debate over the future of digital assets continues, many in the crypto community will be watching closely to see how the next U.S. president approaches the issue.
