The Crypto Crowd Thinks Harris Is Courting Them — Even If She Can’t Say So

“You are asking for a lot of trust after the last four years,” one crypto advocate told NOTUS. “And voters need more than ‘trust us’ when they are at the ballot box.”

The small but vocal Crypto4Harris crowd is giddy right now: Kamala Harris has now twice acknowledged “digital assets” on the campaign trail, billionaire Harris campaign surrogate Mark Cuban has given its cause a boost on the airwaves and the aggressive crypto regulator, Securities and Exchange Commission chair, Gary Gensler, got dragged in a bipartisan manner during a Congressional hearing last week.

Coconut-pilled crypto heads are interpreting Harris’ and top Democrats’ recent comments as more than just politics. Instead they see them as a wink and nod that the campaign is planning to reject the Biden administration’s approach — even if they can’t publicly say so right now.

“I don’t think the Biden admin cared one or another about crypto. The Harris team has been agressive[ly] seeking out meetings with the industry and actually listening.” Cuban told NOTUS via email. “Which led to her mentions of digital assets and blockchain.”
