The Democratic Party in the U.S. has launched “Crypto for Harris,” targeting cryptocurrency enthusiasts’ support for Vice President Kamala Harris. This initiative is designed to counter former President Donald Trump’s increasing popularity among the crypto community. An estimated 40 million Americans now own digital assets, prompting this campaign to influence their voting behavior for the 2024 election.
Earlier this month, they unveiled their outreach plan to the digital asset community titled “Crypto for Harris”. Such effort is backed by influential personalities including but not limited to the likes of Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci. The campaign has plans to conduct debates and gatherings online with representatives of the crypto industries and the Democratic party members. Moreover, there will be a town hall meeting next week to focus on policy support and fundraising for Harris’s campaign.
“President Trump has successfully gained support from people involved in cryptocurrencies, causing the Democratic Party to respond. While some people have criticized the Biden administration’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies, the Democrats are positioning Harris as a champion for innovation and consumers in the crypto sector. The campaign aims to argue that Harris’ proposed policies better meet digital asset holders’ needs than Trump’s deregulation intentions.
Harris’s campaign has recently brought on board former crypto advisors David Plouffe and Gene Sperling to enhance its efforts. Plouffe has previously worked at Binance, and Sperling was at Ripple. Both will assist Harris in managing cryptocurrencies as a policymaker and regulator. Their involvement indicates a noticeable shift in the Democrats’ approach toward the crypto community.”
