Harris campaign is making a ‘concerted effort’ on crypto — Circle CEO
Jeremy Allaire discussed his impressions of Harris campaign representatives on crypto after attending a video call with industry leaders, White House officials, and US lawmakers.
Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire reported that representatives from Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ campaign were making efforts to better understand crypto-related policies going into the 2024 United States elections.
In an Aug. 14 CNBC interview, Allaire said that based on the passage of digital asset-related legislation in the current session of Congress, crypto appeared to be a “purple” issue — i.e., both Democratic and Republican. The Circle CEO said he attended an Aug. 8 video call with White House officials, Harris campaign representatives, and US lawmakers, where industry leaders had the opportunity to ascertain positions on digital assets.
“There is a concerted effort both from the administration and the Harris campaign to really get to know the issues, the players, the industry, the policy issues,” said Allaire. “I think what the industry is looking for very, very clearly is clear statements. Clear statements potentially from the existing White House, and clear statements from Harris as part of her economic policy agenda.”
