Receiving crypto donations
Francis Suarez, the current mayor of Miami and a Republican presidential candidate, confirmed on Friday that he is now accepting crypto donations.
According to the website of the Suarez campaign, they are currently processing contributions through BitPay, a crypto payments provider that supports several cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Polygon (MATIC), Apecoin (APE), as well as stablecoins like Dai (DAI), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Pax Dollar (USDP), USD Coin (USDC), and Euro Coin (EUROC), which is pegged to the euro.
Suarez, who has been a vocal advocate of crypto during his time as Miami’s mayor, believes that “Cryptocurrency is the future and it’s here to stay – America’s next president must lean into this generational opportunity, not shy away.”
His campaign’s decision to accept crypto is in line with his pro-crypto stance.
MiamiCoin (MIA), a decentralized altcoin launched by the city of Miami in August 2021, has suffered a significant decline of over 99.5% from its all-time high of $0.0552, which was set in September 2021, as reported by CoinGecko.
