Crypto industry's "political gamble" of $130 million in donations in exchange for Trump's support

The White House in the United States held a cryptocurrency summit for the first time on the 7th local time. Trump stated at the summit that the federal government of the United States will support the development of cryptocurrencies represented by Bitcoin and the digital asset market. U.S. media reported that Trump's policy shift may be due to the significant political donations provided by cryptocurrency investors during last year's U.S. election campaign, hoping that he would end the Biden administration's restrictive policies on cryptocurrencies after taking office. According to the Wall Street Journal, during last year's U.S. election campaign, the cryptocurrency industry provided over $130 million in political donations to candidates for both parties in the House and Senate who support cryptocurrencies through a super political action committee.
