Highlights. Vice President Kamala Harris promises to spur innovation in artificial intelligence and digital assets while protecting consumers.
Vice President Harris raised $27 million at a fundraiser in New York, and the Democrat raised $361 million in August, beating Trump by $130 million.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who will face Donald Trump in this November's election, expressed her support for new technologies such as artificial intelligence and #cryptocurrencies at a Sept. 22 campaign fundraiser.
This is the first time Harris has spoken publicly about cryptocurrencies, which will be one of the emerging industries in the 2024 presidential election.
Speaking at an event at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan, Vice President Kamala Harris said her administration will foster innovation while protecting the interests of investors and consumers.
We will encourage innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and #digital assets while protecting the interests of consumers and investors, she said.
For an industry that has grown rapidly over the past few years, cryptocurrencies pose a significant challenge for 2024. In particular, key executives and investors sharply condemned Gov. Biden's approach to regulation.
Many #cryptocurrency supporters took Harris' remarks as an attempt to prove that her position is different from President #Joe Biden's. Judging from the remarks, Harris seems to recognize some value in the industry, but is eager to introduce consumer protections after a series of high-profile cryptocurrency crashes. Meanwhile, his Republican rival Harris has already taken a friendly stance on cryptocurrencies, with Trump criticizing existing regulation and promising to oust SEC Chairman Gary Gensler if he gets into the White House. He made headlines last week after paying with bitcoins for a burger at a cryptobar in New York City.
