#Republican candidates for Ohio Governor#

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is planning to run for Governor of Ohio, a move that has generated widespread attention. Ramaswamy is a biotech entrepreneur and an ardent supporter of cryptocurrency, who served as a surrogate during President Trump’s campaign and was appointed as one of the heads of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency. He has previously voiced his support for the freedom of self-custodial wallets, free from regulatory constraints, and actively pushed for cryptocurrency-related legislation, such as establishing a state-backed Bitcoin reserve. While Ramaswamy’s campaign plans have not been formally announced, he is expected to leverage his experience in tech and finance, coupled with his enthusiasm for cryptocurrency, to appeal to Ohio voters. His campaign will serve as a significant test within the Republican party, examining their stance on cryptocurrency and the continuation of Trumpism.
