- Vice President Kamala Harris seeks to realign her campaign’s cryptocurrency policy ahead of the upcoming elections.
- Representative Ro Khanna to host a pivotal Zoom meeting with major crypto leaders to discuss future collaboration.
- Donald Trump garners significant support from the cryptocurrency community with bold promises at the Bitcoin Conference.
Kamala Harris is endorsing efforts to align her presidential campaign with the demands and perspectives of the $2 trillion cryptocurrency industry. California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna is set to host a high-profile Zoom meeting aimed at facilitating dialogue between Harris’s campaign and major figures within the cryptocurrency community.
The upcoming Zoom meeting, organized by Rep. Khanna, is set to feature notable attendees such as Lael Brainard, chief of the National Economic Council, and Anita Dunn, a former senior aide to President Biden, now advising a pro-Harris super PAC.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed will also participate. The assembly shows Harris’s intent to reshape her public stance towards the industry, which has been perceived as restrictive under the current administration.
This move comes in response to aggressive engagements by Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has made inroads with the crypto community. Trump recently headlined the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, where he voiced strong support for making America the crypto capital of the planet, and promised deregulatory measures that have appealed to crypto enthusiasts.
In contrast, the Harris campaign is now vigorously advocating for a ‘crypto reset’, aiming to gain widespread support through ongoing dialogues and policy modifications. Her team has been energetically engaging with key industry leaders to reevaluate the campaign’s strategy toward digital assets, underscoring a potential policy shift that might result in a more lenient stance on regulation.
Despite these concerted efforts, Harris continues to face significant skepticism from prominent figures in the crypto space, including Cameron Winklevoss, the co-founder of the Gemini crypto exchange. Critics argue that past policies, coupled with the campaign’s delayed engagement with the community, might impede the restoration of trust and support within the crypto community.
