Donald Trump

Biden

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban voiced support for Kamala Harris’ approach to the cryptocurrency industry in a recent interview, applauding her for acknowledging digital assets during her 2024 campaign.
Cuban, a longtime crypto advocate, noted in a <a href="https://www.notus.org/2024-election/crypto-kamala-trump-mark-cuban-gensler" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Notus interview</a> that Harris has been actively engaging with industry leaders in a shift away from the Biden administration’s regulatory stance.
Cuban said <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/kamala-harris/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Harris</a> has been “seeking out meetings” with the crypto industry and listening to its concerns. According to Cuban, this approach starkly contrasts what many in the crypto community have experienced in recent years.&nbsp;
Harris’s recent statements <a href="https://crypto.news/kamala-harris-on-crypto-first-public-statement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">about encouraging</a> technologies like AI and digital assets have stirred interest among crypto supporters, particularly those <a href="https://crypto.news/harris-official-stance-on-crypto-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">who felt overlooked</a> by the current administration.&nbsp;While Donald Trump has gained significant backing from the crypto sector, Cuban believes that Harris’ willingness to engage could win over skeptics.&nbsp;
“You can’t take extreme positions if you want to bring a country together,” Cuban <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMvufQQbGJo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> on Oct. 3 in an interview with Farokh radio, referencing Trump’s strong responses to the United States’s divided politics.&nbsp;
Cuban’s comments come as the crypto community continues to push for less regulatory intervention. For them, Harris’ engagement represents an opportunity for a new direction in U.S. crypto policy, should she secure the presidency.

During this election season, <a href="https://crypto.news/how-crypto-becomes-a-big-player-in-the-2024-presidential-elections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">both parties have catered</a> to the crypto crowd, aiming to appeal to the crypto community and its financial contributions. The support among crypto owners indicates the increasing influence of digital assets in American politics.
During his most recent campaign trail, Trump has not shied away from expressing a <a href="https://crypto.news/donald-trump-crypto-tolerance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pro-crypto sentiment</a>. Trump’s stance on crypto starkly contrasts his earlier criticism, in which he famously <a href="https://crypto.news/where-2024-us-presidential-candidates-stand-on-the-future-of-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">labeled</a> cryptocurrencies a “scam” in a 2021 interview.
However, during this election cycle, Trump said he would embrace crypto in his next presidential term. “Crypto is moving out of the U.S. because of hostility toward it. I don’t want that. If we are going to embrace it, we will have to let them be here,” he <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1788371259287327136" target="_blank">said</a> in a rally.
On Aug. 29, Trump <a href="https://crypto.news/donald-trump-teases-us-crypto-capital-of-the-planet-plan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> plans to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet” if re-elected, hinting at an initiative led by his sons called World Liberty Financial.
On the other side of the aisle, Democrats, led by Harris’s campaign team, <a href="https://crypto.news/democrats-launch-harris-for-crypto-campaign-to-strengthen-pro-crypto-talking-points/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched</a> the Crypto4Harris initiative in early August to engage with the crypto community and counter Republican efforts to attract crypto voters. The campaign aims to develop a pro-crypto policy framework to repair Harris’s relationship with the crypto industry.
