US Vice President and Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris reportedly pledged to support the crypto and artificial intelligence (AI) industries if she wins in the upcoming November election.
Bloomberg reports that Harris vowed to help grow investments in AI and digital asset technologies at a New York City fundraiser on Sunday.
“I will bring together labor, small business founders and innovators and major companies. We will partner together to invest in America’s competitiveness, to invest in America’s future. We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors.”
During the event, Harris pitched to donors what she billed as an agenda for an “opportunity economy.”
“We will create a safe business environment with consistent and transparent rules of the road. We will invest in semiconductors, clean energy and other industries of the future, and we will cut needless bureaucracy,”
Last month, stablecoin issuer Circle’s CEO Jeremy Allaire said that the US digital asset industry wants more clarity on Harris’ position on crypto.
“I think what the industry is looking for very clearly is clear statements potentially from the existing White House and clear statements from Harris as part of her economic policy agenda.”
