According to Cointelegraph, crypto industry executives and advocacy groups plan to raise $100,000 for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in an effort to take a lenient stance on cryptocurrencies after she wins the November presidential election. The group, which includes the Blockchain Foundation, plans to hold a fundraiser in Washington on September 13, with tickets priced between $500 and $5,000. Harris leads Trump by 3.2 percentage points in national polls and has expanded that advantage over the past month. Cleve Mesidor, executive director of the Blockchain Foundation, said the fundraiser is intended to show the importance of cryptocurrencies to a possible new Democratic administration and hopes to promote discussions about how a Harris administration can support the industry. Harris' campaign met with crypto industry executives in August to discuss the industry, the second meeting following a roundtable in July.
