Kamala Harris Promises Support for AI and Digital Assets in Presidential Campaign

Harris Pledges to Drive Innovation in AI and Digital Assets

During a recent fundraiser event in Manhattan, Kamala Harris unveiled her plans to champion advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital assets. Harris stressed the importance of fostering these cutting-edge technologies while ensuring the protection of consumers and investors.

Harris’ Stance on Cryptocurrency and Technology

For the first time in her campaign, Harris directly addressed the topic of cryptocurrency. Her remarks signal a potential shift from President Joe Biden’s stance on crypto, with Harris looking to create a secure business environment through clear regulations and investments in key technologies like semiconductors and clean energy.

Industry Reaction to Harris’ Statements

While some leaders in the crypto space welcomed Harris’ focus on innovation, others are calling for more detailed policies. Faryar Shirzad, Coinbase’s policy chief, described Harris’ comments as “important” but noted that they may lack the boldness seen in former President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance.

Trump’s Support for Crypto

On the Republican side, Trump has been actively endorsing cryptocurrency, even launching NFT collections and making promises related to the future of the industry. As the election approaches, both candidates are working to outline their visions for technology and finance.

Current Presidential Election Odds

According to data from Polymarket, Harris currently holds a 52% chance of winning the election, with Trump trailing at 47%. The upcoming months will be pivotal as the candidates continue to articulate their views on technology and finance.
