Kamala Harris Campaign ‘Taking Interest’ in the Crypto Industry

Kamala Harris’s campaign is reportedly taking an interest in the cryptocurrency industry. "The Harris campaign has taken a considerable interest in the cryptocurrency industry," a source familiar with the matter told The Block. "They have reached out to engage with the industry and are looking to develop a comprehensive stance on the issue." The news comes as the cryptocurrency industry is gaining increasing attention from politicians and regulators. In recent months, several members of Congress have introduced legislation related to cryptocurrencies, and the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken a number of enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies. It is unclear what specific policies Harris's campaign is considering. However, her interest in the issue suggests that she believes it is important to engage with the cryptocurrency community and to develop a policy framework that is both supportive of innovation and protective of consumers.
