Is it Crypto4Harris magic?

On Wednesday, Crypto4Harris, held its first virtual meeting to discuss supporting Harris’s electoral campaign while advocating for an end to the Biden administration’s crackdown on the crypto industry.

Mark Cuban, Anthony Scaramucci, and Adam Schiff are pushing Kamala Harris to reset Democratic policy on digital assets. The Crypto4Harris group has begun its campaign and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer supports passing a crypto bill this year. This signals a shift in Democrat strategy.  

The group is now gearing up for nationwide fundraising events in September. It is aiming to reshape Harris’ approach to crypto. Early talks are underway with the Harris campaign, with plans to suggest crypto-friendly regulators for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) if she wins.

The group is advocating for a nonpartisan stance on digital assets, moving away from Republican nominee Donald Trump’s promises. As Harris gains in polls, the crypto industry is hedging its bets.

The biggest crypto, Bitcoin, recorded continued volatility over one month as its price went to trade near $70,000 amid the anticipation of Donald Trump speaking at the Bitcoin conference. Recently, BTC dipped to trade below the $49,000 zone, depicting high fluctuation in the market. Bitcoin price has dropped by 7% in the last 30 days. It is trading at an average price of $58,562, at press time.
