- Scaramucci supports bipartisan backing for Bitcoin but has mixed feelings about Trump’s approach to the industry.
- Kamala Harris could positively influence the Democratic stance on cryptocurrencies, enhancing ties with major crypto firms.
- Trump plans to fire SEC Chair Gensler and aims to make the US a top crypto hub, reflecting his shift to a pro-crypto stance.
At the Nashville 2024 Bitcoin Conference, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, supported Donald Trump’s intentions to include Bitcoin. He did, however, voice concerns on Trump’s approach. Scaramucci acknowledged both agreement and apprehension in his remarks about Trump, highlighting his mixed attitude.
Advocating for Bipartisan Support
Scaramucci has advocated for the bitcoin industry to have bipartisan support. In 2017, she worked for Trump as a White House official. Trump contends that in order to develop a regulatory system that safeguards consumers and promotes innovation, collaboration between all parties is required. He emphasizes the significance of appropriate, progressive encryption legislation in his request for bipartisan cooperation.
When President Biden pulled out from the US presidential race in 2024, Scaramucci said in an interview with Bloomberg that Harris could shift the Democrat’s position on cryptocurrencies. He thinks Harris, who has Biden’s support to succeed him, might have a positive influence on the party’s position on cryptocurrencies.
According to a Financial Times investigation, Harris’ campaign staff reportedly reached out to companies like Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple Labs to deepen its connections with the cryptocurrency industry.
