Crypto Advocates Disappointed as Kamala Harris Fails to Appear at Town Hall

Crypto Caucus Meeting All Harris, No Camp Vice President Kamala Harris did not attend a town hall intended to push her on crypto policy, dashing hopes that she would clarify her stance on the industry or chart a different course than President Joe Biden. Fox Business hosted the event, and feedback from viewers suggested the majority believe Harris is unlikely to embrace cryptocurrency even if Democratic lawmakers urge her to do so. Without a plan or stated position on how she would fundamentally change crypto policy, Harris will struggle to build trust and support in the crypto industry, they said. However, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has begun to take a more crypto-friendly stance, which was a major takeaway from the town hall.
