Kamala Harris says she will support crypto: Here are 3 steps that would show she’s serious.
At a fundraiser in New York City on September 22, Vice President Kamala Harris took a significant step by publicly expressing her support for emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, according to a report in Bloomberg. “We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors,” she said at the Cipriani Wall Street event, helping to raise $27 million.For the first time as the Democratic nominee, Harris offered a glimpse into how her administration might approach digital assets. While her comments signal a promising proof of pivot, six weeks into her campaign, there is a growing urgency to address the concerns of pro-crypto voters. This demographic—especially the younger, politically energized, pro-crypto population—has been skeptical, if not outright alienated, by the current administration’s approach. What these young voters are looking for is not just clarity on bitcoin but a comprehensive legal structure for all digital assets. They are also aware that former President Trump has made significant overtures to the crypto industry, particularly by appealing to Bitcoin maximalists.
