Recently, Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris disclosed her long-awaited stance on the crypto industry. Despite the criticism surrounding her seemingly \u201cvague\u201d approach, some politicians have felt \u201cencouraged\u201d about Bitcoin (BTC) and digital assets after the VP\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n

VP Harris\u2019 Crypto Statement \u201cEncourages\u201d US Congressman<\/h2>\n

On Sunday, the US Vice President acknowledged the crypto industry for the first time since her campaign started. During her statement<\/a>, Harris promised to invest in America\u2019s competitiveness and future by encouraging innovative technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital assets.<\/p>\n

Her comments sparked a discussion<\/a> about her seemingly vague stance, which failed to detail how her government would boost these sectors. However, many concurred that her statement was a positive development for the industry and a good first step.<\/p>\n

Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna shared his thoughts on Harris\u2019 crypto acknowledgment. The pro-crypto politician told Fox Business he was \u201cencouraged\u201d by the Democratic nominee\u2019s recent comment.<\/p>\n

As reported<\/a> by Eleanor Terrett, Khanna seemingly suggested that going against BTC or the crypto industry was a lost battle and compared it to fighting against smartphones or computers. He considers it a modern store of value that needs \u201csmart regulation,\u201d a stance he has previously shared.<\/p>\n

\n

Look, you can\u2019t be against Bitcoin or crypto. It\u2019s like saying I\u2019m against the iPhone or I\u2019m against the laptop. It\u2019s just a technology. Yes, we need smart regulation, but it\u2019s a modern store of value in a modern payment system. It\u2019s a modern version of gold for a lot of young people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

IS Harris Stance Burdened By What Has Been?<\/h2>\n

VP Harris also acknowledged the industry on Wednesday during a speech at The Economic Club of Pittsburgh. The presidential candidate vowed to keep the US dominance in emerging technologies, including Blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

\n

We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, and remain dominant in AI and quantum computing, blockchain, and other emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If elected<\/a> president, Harris promised that the country would be \u201cleading the world in the industries of the future and making sure America, not China, wins the competition for the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, the democratic nominee\u2019s campaign uploaded her economic plan to her website on Wednesday. The 80-page plan mentioned digital assets once, in a statement similar to her comments last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Following her latest statements, the community seemingly remains split on the US vice president. Many consider her stance continuous to be \u201ctoo vague\u201d to be endorsed, claiming that it is \u201cmore of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others have heavily questioned the wording used by Harris, wondering about the meaning of statements such as \u201cencouraging innovative technology\u201d and pointing out some similarities between the language<\/a> used by her campaign and the one used by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the years.<\/p>\n

The criticism resulted in the Super Politician Action Committee (PAC) Stand With Crypto (SWC) changing Harris\u2019 score on its website. After her initial comments, SWC gave the US VP a B score, claiming she was \u201cpro-crypto\u201d but it has now been changed to display no score as there\u2019s \u201cnot enough information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, many crypto investors continue to petition for a more detailed and clearer stance from the presidential candidate, who is currently leading the Polymarket prediction market with 50% winning odds agaisn\u2019t pro-industry Donald Trump\u2019s 49% chances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
