Kamala Harris’ pick for running mate, Tim Walz, has a blank slate on crypto, leaving the industry scratching its head on where he may land on the issue. By contrast, two of her newly-appointed key advisers are no strangers to the industry: one took crypto exchange Binance to court, while the other has worked for the firm.
The latter is David Plouffe, a top adviser to former President Barack Obama, who will be Harris's senior adviser for strategy and winning the electoral college. His sojourn into crypto began in 2022 when Plouffe joined the Binance Global Advisory Board to advise the exchange on regulatory, political, and social issues.
