Starting this week, Vice President Kamala Harris made headlines with her promise to ‘encourage innovations like digital assets and AI’, which led to the crypto industry thinking a concrete crypto plan is on the way. But, insiders reveal that Kamala Harris is highly ‘unlikely’ to elaborate on crypto policy before elections.
Reading between the crypto gimmick at Harris’ fundraiser, crypto insiders have suggested that the ‘industry shouldn’t expect much more in the final weeks before the U.S. elections’.
A source has revealed that Kamala Harris had deliberately used indirect terms like ‘digital assets’ as the discussions about digital assets policy remain confidential and Harris is unlikely to propose a concrete stance before voters decide who to elect.
The unnamed source also revealed that “crypto might be just one subject among other economic innovations Harris will cite on the campaign trail.”
Senior Harris campaign officials reportedly have been holding crypto discussions with crypto executives from firms including from Ripple Labs and Coinbase Inc. Former Trump aide and SkyBridge Founder, Anthony Scaramucci, too confirmed that he’s among those working with the Harris campaign on its crypto policy stance.
We had previously reported how the crypto industry was left divided when Harris made her ‘first-ever- clear-reference’ to crypto on Sunday at a New York campaign event. While quite a few top executives hailed her ‘broad stance’, several other crypto enthusiasts called out veterans for being gullible and taking things at face value.
