Donald Trumpâs Coronavirus Stimulus Package
The Coronavirus stimulus checks are meant to ease the hardship faced by the American population. But since the checks have dropped into people’s accounts, cryptocurrency too has seen an upsurge in the amount of $1200 buys and deposits.
The US unemployment rate has hit an all-time low with 8.9%. 22 Million people have claimed unemployment benefits by far. The demand for stimulus is so high that bank servers are unable to manage the request and failed to work properly.
In Donald Trumpâs Coronavirus stimulus package about 80 million U.S. residents have access to aid. Low-income Americans who donât file tax returns too have the right to receive the package. Likewise, parents are entitled to an additional $500 per child.

Trump feels that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency aren’t money. To him, the Unregulated Crypto Assets can felicitate crimes such as drug trade and other illegal activities. In the past, in one of his infamous tweets, he had unleashed an attack on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin labelling them, “unregulated crypto assets” and based on “thin air.”
Trumpâs acknowledgement had helped boost the Bitcoins market in 2019.
Coinbase, chief Armstrong who had been dreaming about it wrote on twitter âAchievement unlocked! I dreamt about a sitting U.S. president needing to respond to growing cryptocurrency usage years ago.â While the market only slightly reacted to Trumpâs acknowledgement industry experts expected a boost from Trumpâs airtime.
Calling it a bullâs eye for the cryptocurrency market, Jeremy Allaire, chief executive, Bitcoin and crypto group commented, “Crypto now a presidential/global policy issue. People everywhere will embrace a mix of sovereign and non-sovereign digital currency.”
Like it or doubt it numbers again proves that Donald Trumpâs coronavirus stimulus package has boosted the cryptocurrency market.
