Enacted through the country’s Financial Services and Markets Act, the…

Republican Party strategist Chris LaCivita, one of the architects of U.S. President Donald Trump’s winning presidential campaign in 2024, pointed to the two-term commander-in-chief’s embrace of cryptocurrencies as a lynchpin for his political comeback. Speaking at the Coinbase State of Crypto Summit in New York City on Thursday, LaCivita said targeting so-called crypto voters helped President Trump court a lot of supporters, particularly those belonging to voter blocs that have traditionally proved less likely to cast ballots for GOP candidates. “The one thing that we found was that [the crypto voter] crosses so many different socioeconomic areas, and truly was…
