Trump vs. Harris: Pompliano examines crypto’s role in 2024 elections

  • Trump’s strategic use of NFTs has increased his influence in the crypto community.
  • Harris has largely avoided addressing cryptocurrency in her economic plans.

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for political dynamics, I find myself closely observing the evolving relationship between the crypto community and our potential leaders. In this 2024 election landscape, it appears that the crypto community’s backing for former President Donald Trump is gaining momentum, particularly in contrast to Vice President Kamala Harris.


With the 2024 election approaching, there’s a growing enthusiasm among cryptocurrency enthusiasts for the possible return of former President Donald Trump. This sentiment appears to be more pronounced when compared to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Pompliano delves into Trump’s crypto stance

In a recent discussion between Anthony Pompliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management, and his wife Polina Pompliano, author and founder of The Profile, the complexities of Trump’s relationship with cryptocurrency were explored. 

The conversation kicked off as Mrs. Pompliano probed Anthony Pompliano regarding Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency assets and his shifting views on the sector.

This inquiry was majorly sparked by Trump’s surprising reaction to Bitcoin [BTC] statistics during the Bitcoin conference, where he seemed taken aback by the information he was presenting to attendees. 

In response to the query, Mr. Pompliano pointed out that although Trump’s personal crypto investments might not be extensive, his tactical application of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and evolving political views on cryptocurrency have notably influenced the broader discourse about digital currencies in politics.

As a researcher, I’ve observed a significant shift in the national discourse surrounding the presidency. It appears that the frontrunner among candidates now openly supports Bitcoin.

In simpler terms, Pompliano explained that most of Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings, valued between $1 million and $5 million, come from earning a 2% commission on Non-Fungible Token (NFT) sales, not through his personal investments in the crypto market.

Harris faces skepticism from the crypto community

Yet, when queried about his thoughts on Harris, he mentioned that she hasn’t explicitly discussed the topic of cryptocurrency as of yet.

He said, 

“From what I can tell, she hasn’t directly spoken about cryptocurrency. In her recently unveiled economic strategy, there is no reference to digital currencies at all.”

As a passionate crypto investor, I voiced my concerns about the current administration’s unfriendly stance towards cryptocurrencies. I also expressed my disagreement with Vice President Harris on this matter, subtly expressing my viewpoint in a respectful yet firm manner.

One way of rephrasing this statement could be: “One challenge for Harris is that she will likely want to claim credit for the successful aspects of the current administration, emphasizing her partnership with Joe. However, she will need to carefully distance herself from the less successful aspects.”

Trump’s odds to increase?

To summarize, it’s clear that he pointed out a change in Trump’s perspective on Bitcoin – while he used to be critical of it, he now appears more open to the idea. This demonstrates that political views can adapt over time.

“So it can happen, a politician can change their position.” 

According to recent Polymarket charts, it’s no surprise that Trump’s backing remains strong. These charts demonstrate that Trump’s advantage in the odds has now grown to 7%.
