Ripple CTO Bets on Joe Biden Replacement

While Donald Trump has accelerated his Presidential campaign attracting a large number of crypto voters, Ripple CTO David Schwartz is betting on Joe Biden’s Democrat replacement to introduce some pro-crypto policies.

In his recent post on X, Schwartz stated that the Democrats won’t be losing any votes by replacing Joe Biden, stating that there were as such no dedicated Biden voters and only anti-Trump voters. The Ripple CTO believes that this development could attract voters who were concerned about Biden’s ability to serve the second term.

Furthermore, it would allow Democrats to credibly pivot on their crypto policy as there are no anti-crypto voters.

With many in the political circles expecting Kamla Harris to replace Biden, they also feel that there won’t be any major changes at the policy level. One of the followers on X asked David Schwartz what makes him think that Joe Biden was actually making the decisions on crypto policies. the follower said that it was someone else calling the shots. Responding to this, David Schwartz said:

“No, he certainly wasn’t. But there was no credible way to pivot with the same person at the top. It would have looked like cynically copying Trump. The shot they need to call now is how to distinguish the new candidate from Biden in a way that gains voters”.

Don’t Expect Much Policy Changes

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard shared her view on what could change if Kamla Harris takes the throne. In a post on X, Gabbard wrote:

“Biden’s out, Kamala is in. Don’t be fooled: policies won’t change. Just like Biden wasn’t the one calling the shots, Kamala Harris won’t be either. She is the new figurehead for the deep state and the maidservant of Hillary Clinton, queen of the cabal of warmongers. They will continue their efforts to engulf the world in war and taking away our liberty”.

Other market players like Elon Musk have also been taking potshots at Kamla Harris showing what to expect if she becomes the next President.

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have continued to show strength amid Sunday’s key developments.
