A group of crypto industry executives and advocacy groups is planning to raise $100,000 for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris at a fundraiser. This effort aims to persuade Harris to adopt a more favorable stance on cryptocurrencies if she wins the presidency in November. The fundraiser, scheduled for September 13 in Washington, D.C., will feature tickets ranging from $500 to $5,000.
The organizers, including the Blockchain Foundation, hope to make a statement about the role of crypto in the Democratic Party’s agenda and potentially influence Harris to support the crypto sector, particularly by providing greater access to capital for people of color.

This initiative reflects some support within the crypto industry for Harris, despite her relatively quiet stance on the issue compared to Donald Trump. The event is also intended to foster discussions about how a potential Harris administration could back the sector.
Under the current Biden administration, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken enforcement actions against several major crypto firms, citing violations of securities laws. This fundraiser follows a virtual town hall in August by another group, Crypto4Harris, which also supports Harris’ campaign.
