Chamber calls for a cryptocurrency-friendly stance in open letter to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Chamber calls for a cryptocurrency-friendly stance in open letter to Vice President Kamala Harris.
On July 22, the Digital Chamber released an open letter to U. S. Vice President Kamala Harris, urging her to take a more cryptocurrency-friendly stance if she wins the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2024.
The letter emphasizes the need for Harris to embrace the potential benefits of #digital assets and #blockchain technology, and says her campaign could play a key role in changing public perceptions of the Democratic Party's stance on these transformative technologies.
The letter outlines three key recommendations for Harris' campaign.
First, she advocates for the inclusion of pro-digital asset language in the Democratic Party platform, emphasizing the benefits and innovations of #blockchain technology.
Second, it recommends selecting a vice presidential candidate with experience in digital asset policy, and cites Colorado Governor Jared Polis as a candidate with extensive experience in this area.
And finally, it calls for engagement with industry leaders to develop supportive policy through an open dialog with digital asset and blockchain experts.
The Digital Chamber noted the perception that the Democratic Party has a negative view of digital assets, largely due to the cautious and sometimes Biden himself has publicly stated that he fully supports Harris's candidacy.
The announcement of the endorsement follows recent political events that have caused uncertainty in the #cryptocurrency market.
In a social media post on July 21, Biden announced that he would not seek re-election because he wanted to focus on his remaining presidential duties.
After Biden left office, attention was focused on how a possible Harris presidency would affect the regulation of cryptocurrencies.
