On Sunday, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris made her first public mention of crypto during her presidential campaign, telling donors at a Wall Street fundraiser that she would "encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting our consumers and investors."
The comments further divided a polarized crypto industry, which has poured more than $200 million into both Republican and Democratic nominees during the campaign cycle but has criticized Harris's predecessor, President Biden, for his administration's heavy-handed approach to blockchain regulation.
