Claim
During his 2024 election campaign, Donald Trump presented himself to the world as the 'crypto president' and a pro-crypto leader.
“डॉनल्ड ट्रंप ने वर्ष 2024 में अपने चुनाव प्रचार के दौरान अपने आप को क्रिप्टो प्रेसिडेंट बताते हुए एक क्रिप्टो समर्थक नेता के रूप में दुनिया के सामने पेश किया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple reputable sources confirm that during his 2024 campaign Trump reversed his earlier crypto-skeptic stance, positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidate, headlined the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville promising to make the US the 'crypto capital of the planet,' and was widely characterized as (and styled himself) the 'crypto president.' The anchor's claim accurately summarizes this well-documented positioning.
