On October 14, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign team unveiled a comprehensive agenda, which included her first substantial policy stance on cryptocurrency. However, while Harris vigorously promoted her “Opportunity Agenda” during her campaign speech, anyone hoping to learn more specifics about it in relation to digital assets from her speech in Erie, Pennsylvania, was left disappointed.
Harris did not even mention “blockchain” or “digital assets” in passing, let alone cryptocurrency. Here’s what she said:
“We will build a future that I call an opportunity economy, where everyone can compete and have a real chance not just to survive, but to succeed.”
At the same time, local news outlets reported, “Vice President Harris is aware that over 20% of Black Americans own or have owned cryptocurrency assets, which is why her plan will ensure that digital asset owners and investors benefit from the regulatory framework, thereby protecting Black men and others participating in this market.”
Although Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign speech garnered widespread attention, her specific policy details regarding digital assets and cryptocurrency remained vague. She emphasized her vision for creating an “opportunity economy” but did not elaborate on the role cryptocurrency would play in that vision. This left many participants and investors in the crypto industry disappointed, particularly given the sector’s rapid growth and innovation in recent years.
However, the campaign team’s statement brought some hope to the space, particularly with its discussion of the relationship between cryptocurrency and the Black American community. The statement specifically highlighted that more than 20% of the Black American population has invested or is currently investing in cryptocurrency. This data reveals cryptocurrency’s potential to promote financial inclusion, especially for groups traditionally marginalized by the conventional financial system.
This has led to speculation on whether Harris’s policies will more strongly support the cryptocurrency industry. Especially when she referred to a “regulatory framework” protecting digital asset owners and investors, it hinted that the government might take more concrete and favorable measures to regulate and encourage the development of this space. However, the lack of clear policy details remains a key issue, especially as the cryptocurrency market faces increasingly stringent regulations globally.
Some industry experts have pointed out that Harris’s administration might, through a regulatory framework, provide financial opportunities to more marginalized communities, such as the Black community, and potentially drive greater adoption of cryptocurrency. At the same time, investors are also keen to see how her team will balance the need for regulation with the demand for innovation, especially given the technological complexities and global competitive pressures of this space.
As the campaign progresses, more policy details may eventually surface, especially given the high level of public interest in economic and financial issues.
Supporters of the crypto industry hope that Harris’s “Opportunity Agenda” is not just an empty slogan but will provide a clearer path for the future development of digital assets and blockchain technology.
