US Vice President Vance touts Trump’s crypto record at Bitcoin conference

Vice President JD Vance called on the U.S. cryptocurrency industry to stay involved in politics amid President Trump's growing influence over digital currencies, as he urged Congress to pass crypto-friendly legislation supported by the administration. During a Bitcoin conference, Vance highlighted opportunities for innovation but warned against offshore risks and the importance of regulatory clarity. His remarks come after Trump previously praised crypto as a hedge against political corruption and outlined his vision for the U.S. as a crypto leader, though critics argue his family's involvement in cryptocurrencies raises ethical concerns.
