US Presidential candidate Kamala Harris is gaining significant support from industry veterans in the crypto space, such as SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci. At the recent TOKEN20149 event in Singapore, Scaramucci revealed that he and a group of crypto advocates are collaborating with the Harris team to shape her crypto policies leading up to the November elections.
Scaramucci highlighted the involvement of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin proponents in the effort to distance the Democratic Party from the views of Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler. This move aims to position Harris as a more favorable candidate within the crypto industry.
Although Vice President Kamala Harris has not been vocal about her stance on crypto, her engagement with crypto proponents is a positive indicator. Scaramucci expressed optimism about the progress being made and anticipated further discussions with Harris in the coming days.
On the other hand, former President Donald Trump has been actively pursuing the support of crypto industry players by promising pro-crypto legislation and proposing innovative strategies like issuing Bitcoin cheques. Despite their past differences, Scaramucci commended Trump for recognizing the significance of the crypto industry and pushing Democrats towards a more moderate regulatory stance.
In a bid to enhance Harris’s standing within the crypto community, the Crypto4Harris advocacy group is hosting an event at the Atlanta Blockchain Center. This gathering aims to foster discussions on supporting the Harris-Walz campaign and creating a favorable environment for innovation in the crypto sector. A series of networking and fundraising events are scheduled to take place before the end of the month, providing an opportunity for crypto enthusiasts to engage with the campaign and advocate for crypto-friendly policies.
