At the TOKEN2049 conference, đŻđŻSkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci revealed that US Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is working alongside industry advocates on her crypto policies before the November elections.đ„°đ„°
KAMALA HARRIS âDISTANCINGâ FROM WARREN AND GENSLER
On Thursday, Anthony Scaramucci claimed to be âworking alongsideâ Kamala Harris to develop her campaignâs crypto policies.đđ SkyBridge Capitalâs founder announced at one of the largest crypto events worldwide that the Democratic nominee has been âhearing outâ industry proponents.
Scaramucci and other undisclosed crypto and Bitcoin advocates have been allegedly pushing the US VP to back industry-friendly policies. These talks have been seemingly âmaking progressâ and âgoing in the right direction,â he stated at the event.đđ
Moreover, the industry advocates working alongside Harris âwant to preventâ crypto policies from becoming a partisan issue, đ„°đ„°aiming for âcrypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard unstrained from political and tribal conflicts.â
Scaramucci also stated that they are working to âdistanceâ the Democratic Party from figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler, who have had a big role in the USâs crackdown on the industry.
The Democratic candidateâs stance on the sector has been heavily speculated since she was nominated. đ€đ€Nonetheless, Harris, whose stance remains undisclosed, has been endorsed by several industry figures, including Rippleâs co-founder Chris Larsen and Bitcoin bull Mark Cuban.
WHO IS THE CRYPTO INDUSTRYâS âFAVORITEâ CANDIDATE?
đ„đ„At the TOKEN2049 panel, Scaramucci also commented on his feelings about former US president Donald Trump. He applauded the Republican candidate for understanding the industryâs importance, claiming that he has changed the landscape ahead of the elections:
Whatever my feelings are about President Trump, I applaud him for understanding how important this industry is for the United States, and I think ironically, heâs pulling the Democrats along into a centrist position on regulation.đđ
Trumpâs stance has pushed the Biden-Harris administration toward a more industry-friendly approach in the past few months.đđ In a recent interview with CNBC, Cardanoâs founder, Charles Hoskinson, also suggested that Trump might be the favorite option from a crypto perspective.
To him, the Republican candidate is the clear industry favorite as he has openly embraced the sector, even launching a DeFi project. đđThe community has also launched several Trump-inspired memecoins throughout his campaign, which lead the PolitiFi token sector.
đ¶đ¶Since the presidential debate on September 10, the US VP has challenged the Republican candidateâs winning odds. Prediction markets like Polymarket show that Harrisâs chances of winning surpass Trumpâs by 3%, with 51% odds in her favor.
Nonetheless, Hoskinson considers that regardless of who wins the election, the world will continue to move toward crypto adoption. âThe world, with or without America, is embracing cryptocurrencies,â he stated.đ„°đ„°
As of this writing, Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is trading at $63,100, an 8% increase in the past week.đđ
