Kamala Harris has entered the U.S. presidential election. What that could mean for crypto
Jul. 24th, 2024
On Tuesday, a day after Harris launched her campaign, billionaire Mark Cuban said her advisors had begun reaching out to him about crypto policy.
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election and its implications for the crypto industry got more uncertain this week after Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race following President Joe Biden’s exit.
Harris does not have a public stance on crypto. Who she would appoint to cabinet positions is also unknown. What is clear, though, is that the Democrats now have an opportunity to win back some of the crypto vote they have lost in recent years.
“It provides a fresh opportunity to have a new conversation with Democratic leadership … [and] for the Democratic Party to do something positive about the industry — maybe include something in their platform and start to make some of the changes that we missed over the past couple years, that policy changes that the industry needs,” said Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, a policy-focused advocacy group.
JMP Securities analyst Devin Ryan added that “there can be a moving of the pendulum back to the middle, and we’re seeing it in real time.” On Tuesday, a day after Harris launched her campaign, billionaire Mark Cuban said her advisors had begun reaching out to him about crypto policy.
