Vice President Kamala Harris, in her first campaign comments on cryptocurrency, indicated support for the crypto industry during a fundraiser for Wall Street donors. She stated that a future Harris administration would promote innovative technologies such as cryptocurrency while ensuring consumer protection through consistent regulations. This move comes as she tries to capture the crypto voting bloc amid competition with former President Trump, who has also been courting this demographic. Harris has appointed former crypto advisers to her campaign as part of this effort.
