Harris's economic policy once again mentions "digital assets", and the crypto community has had mixed reactions

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris recently delivered a speech at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, emphasizing that the United States is committed to maintaining global leadership in the technologies that will shape the next century, including emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and blockchain. At the same time, she unveiled an 80-page economic plan in which "digital assets" were again mentioned.

The document, "Forging a New Path for the Middle Class: A Plan to Reduce Costs and Create an Economy of Opportunity," outlines how Harris and her partners can strengthen America's competitive advantage in key economic and national security areas. The plan proposes the "America Forward Strategy," which aims to propel U.S. industry into a new era by promoting manufacturing growth and the adoption of new technologies. The strategy not only focuses on "clean iron and steel", but also emphasizes investment in emerging technologies.

"The strategy includes investment in emerging technologies and the modernization of traditional industries," the plan clearly states. It will also encourage the development of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors. "

Notably, Harris has been silent about cryptocurrencies during her previous campaign. It wasn't until recently that she spoke for the first time about digital assets at a fundraiser in New York City, saying she would encourage the development of innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence and digital assets, while ensuring that the rights and interests of consumers and investors are protected.

The crypto community has had mixed reactions to Harris' stance. This was seen as a positive development, while others pointed to the lack of specific policy details. The CEO of a decentralized telecommunications network said he would like to hear more specific policy information. At the same time, some analysts note that, in contrast, Trump has clearly laid out his crypto policy, including the creation of strategic bitcoin reserves, etc.

The latest poll results show that among voters overall, 50 percent support Harris and 43 percent support Trump. However, among potential voters who own cryptocurrency, Trump leads Harris 50% to 38%. Conversely, among voters who don't hold cryptocurrency, Harris leads 53% to 41%.

The poll also showed that 15% of respondents said they currently hold or have held cryptocurrency, NFTs, or similar digital assets. Among crypto holders, the proportion of men is significantly higher than that of women, and most of them are young voters and minorities.

With less than two months to go until the election, most crypto voters are looking forward to hearing a clearer and more targeted policy stance. It remains to be seen whether Harris and her partner will elaborate on their policies on blockchain, digital assets, and cryptocurrencies in particular in the upcoming campaign.

It is worth mentioning that Harris's fundraiser in New York City set a record for her highest fundraising since becoming a Democratic presidential nominee, at $27 million. Trump, by contrast, currently lags behind Harris in fundraising, but he has scheduled a number of high-stakes fundraisers, including upcoming events in Texas and Florida.

TRUMP-1.56%
