Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for US president, has announced her commitment to the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors, noting that if elected in November, she will invest more in both niches.
“I will bring together workers, small business founders and innovators, and large companies. We will partner to invest in America’s competitiveness, to invest in America’s future,” Harris stated at a fundraising event at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan. “We will foster innovative technologies like AI and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors,” he added.
This is the first time Harris has explicitly mentioned cryptocurrencies during her campaign. So far, her stance towards the Bitcoin ecosystem has been cautious, reflecting a strategy of observation rather than direct actionHowever, this announcement suggests a significant change, oriented towards an opening towards regulation and the promotion of the emerging sector.
Harris’ campaign has also taken a step forward in using crypto assets for its funding. The Future Forward Political Action Committee, which supports Harris, has recently joined forces with Coinbase, allowing donations in cryptocurrencies. This move not only reflects an adaptation to new forms of political funding, but also sends a clear message of acceptance and promotion of digital assets in the political arena.
In addition, Harris has selected Tim Walz as her running mate, a decision that has been interpreted by some in the sector as a “blank slate” for the bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem. Cody Carbone, policy director of the U.S. Digital Chamber, commented that this pairing could represent an opportunity for the sector, given the lack of a previously defined position.
Harris’s pledge to foster innovative technologies like AI and digital assets comes at a time when cryptocurrency regulation is a hot topic in the United States. Her commitment to protecting consumers and investors suggests a balanced approachseeking innovation without compromising financial security.
This Cipriani Wall Street ad is not only looking to capture the attention of Wall Street donors, but also the tech and cryptocurrency community, a crucial support base in the digital age. Harris’ strategy appears to be to position herself as a leader who understands and embraces the technological future, promising not only clear regulations, as well as an environment conducive to the growth of these sectors.
Harris’s statement and her approach to the world of cryptocurrencies and AI could redefine her image as a modern candidate, adapted to the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. With this promise, Harris seeks not only to secure the support of an influential community, but also to set the tone for US technology policy.
In this way, Harris adds to her speech a topic that has been discussed for some time by Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. who is seeking a second US presidential term after losing to Joe Biden in 2020.
Since the beginning of the presidential race, Trump has been very vocal about cryptocurrencies and bitcoin, promising that the United States will be the main hub for this sector. Recently, he launched a cryptocurrency platform known as World Liberty Financial, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
