<p><a href="https://polymarket.com/elections" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">According to Polymarket</a>, with 52% odds of winning over Donald Trump, Harris is leading in four out of six swing states. After keeping a low profile over crypto assets, Vice President Kamala Harris has finally made her first public comments on digital assets during her presidential campaign.</p>   
<p>Speaking at a Wall Street fundraiser, she pledged strong support for the crypto industry while emphasizing the importance of consumer protection. </p>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  
 <p>“We will partner together to invest in America’s competitiveness, to invest in America’s future,” </p> 
</blockquote>   
<p>she declared, highlighting her commitment to fostering innovation in sectors like artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-22/harris-vows-to-grow-ai-crypto-industries-in-pitch-to-nyc-donors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Bloomberg in their report</a>, highlighted how Harris stressed the necessity of establishing a “safe business environment with consistent and transparent rules of the road.” This statement signals a potential shift in how the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/is-biden-softening-his-stance-on-crypto-pro-crypto-crypto-advisor-is-back/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Biden administration</a> may approach crypto, which has faced scrutiny and regulatory challenges in recent years. Her remarks come at a crucial time when many in the industry advocate for clearer <a href="https://coinpedia.org/cryptocurrency-regulation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crypto regulations</a> to promote growth while ensuring consumer safety.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-industry-reactions-optimism-amid-caution"><strong>Industry Reactions: Optimism Amid Caution</strong></h2>   
<p>Industry leaders' responses have varied, with some expressing cautious optimism. Coinbase’s policy chief, <a href="https://x.com/faryarshirzad/status/1837967033612546429" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Faryar Shirzad, noted that</a> while Harris's comments are not as assertive as those of her Republican rival, Donald Trump, they recognize the significance of digital asset innovation.</p>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  
 <p>He remarked, “This is an important and constructive statement from Kamala Harris,” indicating a willingness to engage with the crypto community.</p> 
</blockquote>   
<p>However, there’s also a call for clarity. <a href="https://x.com/AlexanderGrieve/status/1837948931369808095" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Alexander Grieve</a> from venture firm Paradigm described Harris’s remarks as “encouraging,” but many are seeking more specific details about her proposed policies. Jake Chervinsky from Variant cautioned that the term “consumer protection” can sometimes mask attempts to hinder the crypto industry, urging for more concrete plans.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="353863"]   
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-crypto-as-a-campaign-issue"><strong>Crypto as a Campaign Issue</strong></h3>   
<p>As crypto increasingly becomes a focal point in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP2Q_7rzNs0&amp;t=75s&amp;pp=ygUadXMgZWxlY3Rpb24gMjAyNCBjb2lucGVkaWE%3D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">upcoming election</a>, U.S. crypto companies have invested nearly $120 million to influence outcomes. With Trump promising to be a “crypto president,” the competition is heating up. Currently, Harris is ahead of Trump by only 2.9 percentage points in national polls, making her statements on crypto all the more critical for the future of digital assets in the U.S.</p>
