At a fundraiser in New York City, Vice President Kamala Harris highlighted her economic agenda that focuses on innovation and job creation through emerging technologies. She expressed support for innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while ensuring consumer and investor protection. Both Harris and her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, have been seeking support from the crypto industry, although Trump has been more aggressive in his approach by criticizing current regulations and promising to dismiss SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. Harris offered broader economic proposals, including investments in sectors like semiconductors and clean energy, and pledged to streamline regulations to create a business-friendly environment. The crypto industry is still uncertain about how Harris would approach cryptocurrencies, but some Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have shown support for crypto. The fundraiser helped boost Harris' substantial fundraising efforts, putting her in a stronger financial position than Trump.
