Joe Biden and Donald Trump didn’t discuss crypto in their first head-to-head debate despite a multibillion-dollar crypto lobbying war chest to influence the elections.

United States President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump didn’t mention crypto once in their 90-minute debate on Thursday despite crypto lobbyists raising millions of dollars for this election cycle.

The first of two CNN-hosted debates, held on June 27, focused on each presidential hopeful’s economic plans, abortion rights, immigration and foreign policy. It also briefly touched on their mental capabilities, with Biden, 81 and Trump, 78, the oldest candidates to ever run for president.

Despite a trio of crypto-backed super political action committees (PACs) raising $202.8 million from large industry backers and spending $93.6 million to influence the 2024 elections, the crypto sector received no mention.
