Kamala Harris publishes policy statement, fails to mention crypto

Kamala Harris recently released a policy statement, raising eyebrows for its omission of any mention of cryptocurrency. Despite earlier rumors suggesting that Harris would adopt a pro-crypto stance, her official website now confirms no such position. The webpage, which had been offline since July, was recently published and does not include any specific stance on the crypto industry. This aligns with a fact-check conducted by Protos in August, which found that claims about Harris’ crypto policies originated from a single campaign advisor. While Harris discusses other industries such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence in her policy statement, crypto is notably absent. At the time of publication, Harris had not informed her followers on any social media platform about the updated webpage. Critics have highlighted Harris’ lack of clear policy statements on various campaign issues, including crypto, throughout her campaign. This recent policy statement, while providing an answer of sorts, offers no promise of change to the current status quo for the crypto industry.
