As the U.S. presidential race heats up between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, cryptocurrencies remain a focal point. Trump has consistently expressed strong support for Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto sector, while Harris has largely remained silent on the issue. However, during a recent weekend speech, Harris mentioned digital assets for the first time, creating a stir within the crypto community.
Harris’ Stance on Cryptocurrencies Still Unclear
Despite her mention of digital assets, insiders suggest that Kamala Harris is unlikely to fully disclose her views on cryptocurrencies before the election. According to sources close to her campaign, major cryptocurrency announcements from Harris are not expected in the final weeks leading up to the U.S. elections.
Harris’ Campaign Meeting with Crypto Industry Figures
According to The Bit Journal, Harris’ campaign team has recently met with several figures from the cryptocurrency sector. A person familiar with these discussions revealed that Harris expressed support for innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital assets but refrained from offering specific details.
The source added that as the election approaches, more cryptocurrency-related statements from Harris are unlikely. Her use of the term “digital assets” during her speech was deliberate, intended to frame the conversation more broadly than just cryptocurrencies.
Harris Echoes Biden’s Support for Technological Innovation
Experts believe that Harris’ supportive tone toward digital assets mirrors President Joe Biden’s stance on cryptocurrencies. In March 2022, Biden signed an executive order emphasizing that while technological advances should be encouraged, they must not harm consumers. This order highlighted the White House’s approach to supporting U.S. competitiveness in tech while maintaining oversight on the crypto industry.
