The newly formed Crypto4Harris group seeks to build support for Kamala Harris in the crypto space with endorsement from Mark Cuban, Anthony Scaramucci, and others.
Democrats are keen to uplift Kamala Harris’ odds of winning the next US elections by uplifting her reputation in the crypto industry.
The Dems have floated a Crypto4Harris Group which is planning a townhall meeting next Wednesday, August 14. Reportedly, Democratic supporter and billionaire Mark Cuban will also be attending the meeting next week.
Mark Cuban to Attend Crypto4Harris Townhall
The reason for the Democrats to float this Crypto4Harris update is to stop Donald Trump from dominating this issue as well as bridge the gap between the crypto administration and the Harris team.
The official handle of Crypto4Harris Group on X describes it as “a grassroots network of crypto advocates organizing, fundraising, and developing a nuanced crypto-policy approach for the Harris For President campaign”.
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, along with other industry participants, will be speaking at the meeting. The billionaire has been facing heat for his endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
While Mark Cuban has been praising Harris and Walz for having a warm connection with people, VanEcks’ Matthew Sigel has lashed out at the entrepreneur asking him on what basis he draws an opinion when Kamala Harris has not given a single interview/debate yet even after being the Presidential nominee for the upcoming US elections.
As reported by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terret, the main organizers of Crypto4Harris Group include top industry players like Crypto Council CEO Sheila Warren as well as former Chainlisys executive Amanda Wick. SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci will also be attending the event.
