Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign has officially started accepting cryptocurrency donations. This makes Trump the first major party presidential nominee to embrace digital currency for campaign contributions. The campaign is accepting a variety of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, XRP, USDC, and ADA through the Coinbase Commerce product. This move follows Trump's promise to support cryptocurrency at an event in Florida two weeks ago. The campaign's fundraising page is now live, allowing any federally permissible donor to contribute using these digital assets.
