Harris Tries to Appeal to Crypto Users

Vice President Kamala Harris broke her silence on cryptocurrency this weekend, signaling the industry’s growing importance in her economic vision as the 2024 Democratic nominee. Speaking to Wall Street donors at a NYC fundraiser, Harris carefully toed the line between innovation and regulation. While she expressed support for emerging tech like AI and crypto, her message was clear: under a Harris administration, consumer protection would not be sacrificed for the sake of progress.

Her remarks suggest a future where cryptocurrencies and AI might thrive, but only under the watchful eye of regulators. For an industry eager for clarity, it remains to be seen whether Harris’ approach will offer the “consistent rules” she promises—or stifle the very innovation she claims to champion.
