As the 2024 election approaches, the interplay between political strategies and industry dynamics will continue to evolve.
In a significant move to mend relations with the cryptocurrency sector, United States Vice President Kamala Harris’s advisers have reached out to top crypto companies to reset the strained ties between the Democratic Party and the crypto industry.
According to the Financial Times, members of Harris’s team have recently contacted individuals connected to major crypto companies. These efforts include outreach to leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, stablecoin company Circle and blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs.
The goal is reportedly to foster a more constructive dialogue and establish a regulatory framework conducive to the industry’s growth. This outreach comes as the crypto industry has increased support for her rival, Republican Party nominee and former President Donald Trump. This initiative also follows mounting criticism of President Joe Biden’s administration’s stance on digital assets.
