- ‘Crypto Advocates for Harris’ supports Kamala Harris, encouraging a clear crypto policy platform.
- The group, including Mark Cuban, to hold a virtual town hall with U.S. lawmakers and industry leaders.
- Harris has yet to define her stance on cryptocurrencies, despite outreach from notable industry figures.
A new advocacy group named ‘Crypto Advocates for Harris‘ has formed to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, urging her to clarify her stance on cryptocurrency policy. This organization, comprising industry experts and enthusiasts, emerged coincidentally on the day Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Mobilizing Crypto Support
The group announced plans for a virtual town hall to engage with U.S. lawmakers, policymakers, and notable figures from the crypto industry. Among the expected participants is entrepreneur Mark Cuban, known for his previous support of the Democratic Party and his interest in digital assets. Cuban, however, has not publicly confirmed his participation following inquiries.
Harris’ Crypto Agenda Unclear
Despite the enthusiasm from the crypto community, Harris has not yet articulated her policies on digital assets. Her campaign has engaged with influential figures like Mark Cuban to potentially shape her approach to cryptocurrency, which remains a significant topic under the current administration due to regulatory considerations by agencies like the SEC.
The virtual town hall aims to foster a dialogue that could lead to a more defined crypto policy stance from Harris, positioning the U.S. as a leader in the digital asset space. The event is set to feature discussions that could influence broader regulatory strategies within the cryptocurrency industry.
