Ramaswamy dials back crypto talk in Ohio governor race after \'bitcoin\' push in presidential run

Vivek Ramaswamy has not put cryptocurrency at the centre of his Ohio governor campaign, unlike during the 2024 Republican presidential primary when he backed bitcoin and mining and opposed a central bank digital currency.

In contrast, Zcash surged on ETF-related developments and the launch of options trading.
