Kamala Harris’ campaign isn’t directly accepting crypto — a Super PAC is
A spokesperson for the Harris campaign confirmed with Cointelegraph that the Future Forward PAC was set up to receive crypto donations to support the Democratic candidate.
Coinbase’s chief financial officer suggested that United States Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign accepted crypto donations through the exchange’s Commerce platform.
On Sept. 4, Coinbase CFO Alesia Haas spoke at Citi’s 2024 Global TMT Conference in New York, saying Vice President Harris had a “huge opportunity” to court voters in the 2024 election by supporting legislation favoring the crypto industry. Haas added that the Democratic presidential candidate was “using Coinbase Commerce now to accept crypto for her own campaign,” leading to reports that the campaign was directly accepting contributions in digital assets.
However, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign said that at this time, the campaign was able to receive crypto contributions through the Future Forward political action committee (PAC). According to Open Secrets, the Super PAC has raised more than $163 million for Harris’ bid to defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump in the November election.
