Anthony Scaramucci Joins Kamala Harris to Develop Crypto Policies

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, has revealed that Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is developing her campaign’s crypto policies.

Scaramucci shared that he and a group of crypto advocates are working with Harris to develop her policies ahead of the U.S. presidential elections in November.

Harris to Distance From Warren and Gensler

According to Scaramucci at the annual TOKEN2049 event, Vice President Harris, along with the crypto advocates assisting her, are working together to distance the Democratic Party away from Senator Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Warren and Gensler have often displayed their aggressive stance on cryptocurrencies. They are widely seen as foes of the crypto industry, having backed regulations and crackdowns on the space.

Scaramucci confirmed that Harris has several meetings with crypto proponents lined up for this week as well.

He added that he and the other crypto insiders, which he claims are working alongside Harris, want to prevent policies surrounding the industry from becoming a partisan issue.

“I believe that we are making progress, and I think it’s going in the right direction. We want crypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard unstrained from political and tribal conflicts,” he said.

The latest information comes a few weeks after Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen endorsed Harris for the upcoming presidential election.

U.S Presidential Candidates Race for Crypto Votes

Harris’ rival, Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the upcoming elections, has made significant efforts in recent months to win the hearts of crypto investors. At a San Francisco fundraiser in June, Trump touted himself as “the crypto president” and promised to end Gary Gensler’s anti-crypto policies once elected president.

As CoinTab reported earlier, the former U.S. president announced plans to make his administration more favourable for digital currencies if elected.

As part of his campaign, he promised to use the crypto asset Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. Earlier this month, Trump debuted a new crypto project called World Liberty Financial and also made headlines by purchasing burgers using Bitcoin.

Overall, both presidential candidates are making significant efforts to secure votes from crypto investors.
