Kamala Harris

Squawk

In a recent discussion on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, emphasized the importance of bipartisan support for Bitcoin and crypto regulation. 
Scaramucci highlighted the urgency of bipartisan cooperation in shaping crypto policies. 
“We need to make Bitcoin and the regulation around blockchain and cryptocurrency bipartisan,” he said. 
He and prominent figures like <a href="https://crypto.news/mark-cuban-silicon-valley-betting-on-bitcoin-with-trump-support/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/mark-cuban-silicon-valley-betting-on-bitcoin-with-trump-support/">Mark Cuban</a> and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/mike-novogratz/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/mike-novogratz/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Novogratz</a> have been in discussions with White House officials to convey the risks associated with what he termed as the “Gary Gensler, Elizabeth Warren, anti-crypto approach.” 
The SkyBridge Capital founder pointed out that recent market movements were influenced by substantial Bitcoin sales from the <a href="https://crypto.news/mt-gox-and-the-german-government-sunk-the-crypto-market/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/mt-gox-and-the-german-government-sunk-the-crypto-market/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">German government</a> and distributions of around $9 billion worth of Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>). 
Scaramucci also touched on the potential political impact on Bitcoin’s future, noting that Vice President Kamala Harris’s <a href="https://crypto.news/how-kamala-harris-can-rebuild-crypto-bridges-burned-by-biden/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/how-kamala-harris-can-rebuild-crypto-bridges-burned-by-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stance</a> could be pivotal.&nbsp; 
“If Vice President Harris wins the election, I think she moves to the center on Bitcoin regulation,” he suggested.&nbsp; 
He also acknowledged former President <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/donald-trump/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump’s</a> influence, indicating that his pro-crypto stance forced Democrats to reconsider their positions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-does-bipartisan-support-mean-for-crypto">What does bipartisan support mean for crypto?</h2> 
Bipartisan support for crypto regulation involves cooperation between Democrats and Republicans to create a balanced legal framework toward crypto. Both parties would try to provide clear guidelines for the crypto market, ensuring consumer and economic protections.&nbsp; 
Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives <a href="https://crypto.news/fit21-bill-passed-by-us-house-of-representatives/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/fit21-bill-passed-by-us-house-of-representatives/" rel="noreferrer noopener">passed</a> the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act with significant bipartisan support, demonstrating a growing consensus on the need for clear crypto regulations.&nbsp; 
The bill aims to define the roles of the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEC</a> and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/cftc/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/CFTC/" rel="noreferrer noopener">CFTC</a> in overseeing crypto, setting the stage for a more structured regulatory environment. 
Bipartisan efforts are crucial as they help mitigate political polarization, creating stable and consistent policies. With bipartisan backing, legislation like FIT21 can provide the necessary regulatory clarity to support the growth of crypto in the U.S.​ 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bitcoin-accepted-as-an-asset-class">Bitcoin accepted as an asset class</h2> 
Another focal point for Scaramucci was the broader <a href="https://crypto.news/is-bitcoin-becoming-a-first-class-asset/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/is-bitcoin-becoming-a-first-class-asset/" rel="noreferrer noopener">acceptance</a> of Bitcoin as an asset class. Scaramucci drew parallels with the gradual acceptance of disruptive technologies like Uber, suggesting a similar trajectory for Bitcoin.&nbsp; 
He mentioned the growing interest from institutional investors, with entities like the State of Wisconsin allocating significant funds to Bitcoin. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bitcoin-2024">Bitcoin 2024</h2> 
Scaramucci and Trump are <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-nashville-starts-today-what-to-expect/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-nashville-starts-today-what-to-expect/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">set to speak</a> at Bitcoin 2024 this weekend. Rumors have circulated that Trump may <a href="https://crypto.news/will-trump-create-a-us-bitcoin-strategic-reserve/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/will-trump-create-a-us-bitcoin-strategic-reserve/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mention plans</a> for a Bitcoin strategic reserve at the conference, which would solidify Bitcoin as a legitimate asset in the eyes of the U.S. government.&nbsp; 
Presumptive Democratic candidate Kamala Harris also had a chance to speak at the conference, but her busy schedule prevented her.&nbsp; 
“It’s a miss for her,” said Scaramucci. “She should have been there, but I understand why she wasn’t.”
