Stand With Crypto Demands ABC Question Candidates on Cryptocurrency in VP Debate
Stand With Crypto, an advocacy group for the cryptocurrency industry, has written a letter to ABC News, the host of the upcoming vice presidential debate, urging the network to ask a question about cryptocurrency during the event. The letter, which was reported by CNBC, argues that cryptocurrency is a "critical issue" that should be discussed in the debate. The group cites a recent poll by decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket, which found that there is a 17% chance that Donald Trump will mention cryptocurrency or bitcoin during the debate. Stand With Crypto believes that a question about cryptocurrency would allow the candidates to share their views on the future of digital assets and their potential impact on the economy. The group also argues that it would be an opportunity for the candidates to show their understanding of the technology and its implications. The vice presidential debate is scheduled to take place on October 7th. It will be the first time that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have faced off in a public forum.
