Vivek Ramaswamy is running for governor as an Ohio Republican, and crypto is not a central issue in his campaign. Cointelegraph reported this on Oct 5, 2026, in a piece by staff writer Turner Wright and reviewed by Sam Bourgi.
This is a change from two years ago. During his presidential campaign, Ramaswamy spoke in favor of cryptocurrency again and again.
His ties to the industry have not gone away. According to the report, he holds a stake in a digital asset manager, and many people in the crypto industry have donated to his campaign. The report does not say why he has stopped putting crypto at the front of his message, and it does not describe any crypto policy proposal from this campaign.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this story changes nothing directly. It is about how a state candidate talks about crypto. It contains no rule, vote or policy that would affect funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on these exchanges.
