**Donald Trump’s Growing Interest in Cryptocurrency**
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has shown a shifting stance on cryptocurrency over the past few years, moving from skepticism to a more engaged—if still cautious—approach.
During his presidency and in early public comments, Trump was openly critical of digital currencies like Bitcoin. In a 2019 tweet, he stated, “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air.” He reiterated this view in 2021, calling Bitcoin a “scam” and expressing concern that crypto could undermine the dominance of the U.S. dollar.
However, Trump's tone began to change in 2022 and beyond. That year, he launched his own NFT collection, **Trump Digital Trading Cards**, featuring stylized images of himself. Despite criticism and jokes online, the NFTs quickly sold out and brought in millions, suggesting Trump saw both financial potential and a connection with his base through blockchain technology.
In recent appearances, Trump has remained wary of unregulated crypto markets but has shown more openness to blockchain innovations. His evolving stance reflects a broader trend in American politics, where cryptocurrency is increasingly becoming a topic of interest among voters and policymakers.
While he hasn’t endorsed any specific coins or crypto policies, Trump’s actions suggest he’s more engaged with the space than ever before—blending personal branding with the emerging digital economy.
