On Twitter, the candidate has been sharing his libertarian views on cryptocurrencies. He has already stated, for example, that crypto technologies are an important innovation engine. RFK Jr. also criticized US regulatory policies, arguing that the country is hurting the industry and encouraging innovation elsewhere.
RFK Jr.’s decision of accepting donations in Bitcoin comes at a time when the industry is facing a strict regulatory environment in the US. Pressure from regulators, especially from the SEC, has generated uncertainty among industry players and harmed the ecosystem as a whole.
As a result, several crypto companies are having to shut down their operations in the country and migrate to more crypto-friendly jurisdictions. For the candidate, the US economy would be more resilient if it had a diversified currency ecosystem.
With his pro-cryptocurrency stance and acceptance of Bitcoin donations, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is positioning himself as a presidential candidate looking to drive innovation and promote financial freedom in the country.
“We are seeing today how fragile our super-centralized system is,” he said.
