As President Joe Biden faces mounting pressure from within his party to step down in the 2024 election, the tech policy industry coalition Chamber of Progress has stated he still has a chance to shift his stance on crypto.
This, they suggest, could be a decisive factor in countering former President Donald Trump, who is anticipated to be the Republican nominee.
In a letter dated July 9, the Chamber of Progress stressed the importance of President Biden supporting comprehensive crypto regulations, emphasizing that he "can still win" on the cryptocurrency issue against Trump.

Reports indicate that Biden has been considering accepting crypto donations for his reelection campaign. Furthermore, the Chamber of Progress's letter mentioned that Biden's Administration is expected to participate in a roundtable with congressional leaders to discuss Bitcoin and blockchain in the coming days.
