Crypto Industry Seeks Harris’ Support
The Digital Chamber, a trade association representing the digital asset industry, is urging presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to embrace the US cryptocurrency industry. The group believes Harris’ candidacy presents an opportunity for the party to shift its stance on crypto.
In a letter sent to Harris on Monday, the Digital Chamber outlined three key requests:
- Foster open dialogue with crypto industry leaders.
- Include pro-crypto language in the Democratic Party’s platform.
- Select a pro-crypto running mate.
The group argues that the Biden administration’s cautious approach to crypto has led to a negative perception of digital assets within the Democratic Party. The Digital Chamber hopes Harris will take steps to address this perception and foster a more positive relationship between the party and the crypto industry.
It remains to be seen whether Harris will embrace the Digital Chamber’s recommendations. However, the group’s efforts highlight the growing importance of the cryptocurrency industry and its potential impact on US politics.
