During the first general debate ahead of the 2024 presidential elections in the United States, cryptocurrency was not a topic of discussion, despite the industry's hopes. The debates between incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump took place in Atlanta, Georgia.

Cryptocurrency became a significant topic after Trump began discussing it during the election campaign. Biden has not made public statements about cryptocurrency yet.

The cryptocurrency industry is hopeful for Congress and the administration to enact legislation favorable to businesses in the digital asset sector.
