Crypto-Focussed Non-Profit to Host Town Hall with Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, will appear at a town hall organised by Crypto4Harris. This non-profit aims to encourage better relations between Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, and the cryptocurrency industry. According to Politico, those acquainted with the situation state that Schumer will be joined by figures within the cryptocurrency space and by Democratic lawmakers at the event. This town hall follows Schumer's moves in recent months to reach out to the crypto industry. In June, he met with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong to discuss regulation and the industry's potential. He's also been an advocate for the use of blockchain technology in government. The town hall is a sign of the growing interest in cryptocurrency from both politicians and the general public. As the industry continues to mature, it'll be interesting to see how policymakers approach regulation and other issues that affect the space.
