Reports indicate that U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has been in discussions with key figures in the cryptocurrency sector, including Ripple and Coinbase.
Sources reveal that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign advisors have reached out to prominent individuals in the crypto space. These interactions aim to build relationships that could inform future regulatory frameworks.
Recently, to this end, the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, stablecoin company Circle, and blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs have been contacted. Harris’s intended message is that the Democrats support “business and responsible business.”
Harris’s rise among the Democratic presidential candidates is seen as an opportunity to reconnect with the tech sector. This follows the Biden administration’s regulatory stance, which has created some backlash in a sector traditionally inclined towards more liberal policies.
A Ripple spokesperson pointed to recent statements by CEO Brad Garlinghouse on social media. Garlinghouse urged Harris to avoid “nonsense talkers” like Representative Brad Sherman, a known crypto critic. He also cautioned against making judgments about candidates based solely on their party affiliation.
