PANews reported on August 6 that according to The Block, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) said that U.S. Vice President Harris' running mate Tim Walz has not yet publicly talked about cryptocurrencies, but during his tenure as governor, Minnesota enacted legislation to strengthen the regulation of cryptocurrency self-service terminals. In addition, according to Cointelegraph, Tim Walz's stance on cryptocurrencies is closely aligned with that of U.S. Democratic Senator Warren, who advocates stricter regulation of cryptocurrencies.

As Fortune previously reported, Walz has never spoken publicly about cryptocurrencies, and his tenure in the House predates major bills on the industry, making it difficult to gauge what stance he might have on digital assets.
