The event will be the culmination of the Stand With Crypto Alliance’s America Loves Crypto Tour, which kicked off in Arizona on September 4, 2024, and is traveling through several key swing states.
According to the digital asset advocacy group, the tour is mobilizing “4 million crypto voters” in states like Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Each stop on the tour will feature concerts aimed at raising awareness and encouraging voter participation in the upcoming elections.
The Chainsmokers to Perform at Stand With Crypto Day in Washington The America Loves Crypto Tour will conclude with Stand With Crypto Day on September 18 at The Black Cat in Washington, D.C., featuring pop duo The Chainsmokers.
Other stops on the tour included rapper Big Sean, pop artist Lauv, singer-songwriter Jessie Murph, and rapper 070 Shake.
A statement on the band’s website spoke about the importance of amplifying the crypto community’s voice: “Elected officials must recognize the passion, demands, and willingness of the crypto community to hold them accountable. We must unite and ensure that our calls for change are heard and implemented.”
“America Loves Crypto” Tour Reaches Key Swing States Ahead of Election As the tour’s finale in Washington, D.C. approaches, it coincides with the growing importance of cryptocurrency issues ahead of the November 2024 election.
With one in five voters in swing states viewing digital assets as an important topic, Stand With Crypto Day comes at a strategic time for the movement.
Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris are currently neck and neck in national polls, with the first presidential debate set for Tuesday, Sept. 10.
New CBS data shows both candidates are polling at 50% in key states like Pennsylvania, while Harris has a slight edge in Michigan and Wisconsin.
While Harris has yet to clarify her position on blockchain, Trump has been vocal in his support for cryptocurrencies on the campaign trail, promising to introduce crypto-friendly regulations and make the U.S. a leader in digital assets.
“We will have rules, but from now on, the rules will be written by people who love your industry, not by people who hate it,” Trump said earlier.
With the presidential race tightening, the influence of crypto voters and politics will likely play a key role in the upcoming election.
