According to BlockBeats, on October 19, in order to win the support of black male voters, the campaign team of Democratic presidential candidate Harris released an outreach agenda, promising to formulate cryptocurrency regulatory policies to protect black men who invest in digital assets.

It was the most specific statement yet from the current vice president, who has cut short her campaign since taking over for Biden in July and has paid less attention to cryptocurrencies than her Republican rival, Trump.

The Harris campaign's move drew mixed reactions. Some cryptocurrency investors and industry insiders praised Harris's tougher language on cryptocurrency regulation, but others criticized the language for specifically targeting black men.

Dr. Emdad, director of the Blockchain and Financial Technology Research Center at Morgan State University, said that research shows that more than a quarter of black Americans own cryptocurrencies, while only about 15% of white people do, so cryptocurrencies are more likely to be accepted. He believes that this statement is a little late, but still necessary.
