Well, friends, it has finally happened. Vice President Kamala Harris has made her first direct

statement on crypto policy. At a New York fundraising event on Sunday, she said, quote,

I will bring together labor, small business founders, and innovators in major companies.

We will partner together to invest in America's competitiveness to invest in

America's future. We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting

our consumers and investors. And that's it. Now, this is broadly in line with the direction

the Harris campaign has been going with economic policy, an agenda they are calling the opportunity

economy. The message has included overtures towards sensible regulation

and cutting red tape. At the same event, Harris said, we will create a safe business environment

with consistent and transparent rules of the road. We will invest in semiconductors, clean energy,

and other industries of the future, and we will cut needless bureaucracy. Previously, the

crypto industry had been left guessing whether they would be included among these industries

of the future or continued to be cut out by regulatory attacks.

This is at least some indication that, yes, indeed, we are a part of the future that Kamala Harris
