Vivek Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial run lacks the crypto rhetoric of his presidential bid
The Ohio Republican candidate holds a stake in a digital asset manager and received donations from many in the industry, but has avoided making crypto a central campaign issue.
Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate for Ohio governor, has maintained his stake in the digital asset manager Strive and has financial support from prominent figures in the crypto industry. Despite his 2024 presidential campaign's strong focus on cryptocurrency, Ramaswamy's gubernatorial run appears to have toned down its emphasis on digital assets.
He is not explicitly opposing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as he did during his presidential bid, and he has not made it a central campaign issue. The Ohio gubernatorial race is also affected by the state's growing number of data centers and crypto mining operations, with public sentiment against them in some communities.
