At a fundraiser in New York City on September 22, Vice President Kamala Harris took a significant step by publicly expressing her support for emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, according to a report in Bloomberg. “We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors,” she said at the Cipriani Wall Street event, helping to raise $27 million.
For the first time as the Democratic nominee, Harris offered a glimpse into how her administration might approach digital assets. While her comments signal a promising proof of pivot, six weeks into her campaign, there is a growing urgency to address the concerns of pro-crypto voters. This demographic—especially the younger, politically energized, pro-crypto population—has been skeptical, if not outright alienated, by the current administration’s approach.
