US Crypto Legislation Out Of Kamala Harris Policy, Trump Takes Lead

While the Crypto4Harris campaign has been making every effort to prop up the image of Kamala Harris in the crypto industry, the Vice President continues with her stand of not showing any support. In her latest announcements on policy decisions, there’s no mention of crypto anywhere. On the other hand, New York Senator Chuck Schumer who once promised US crypto legislation by the year, backtracks on his word.

US Crypto Legislation Take BackSeat

Fox Business Journalist Eleanor Terret reported that New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who once promised to bring US crypto legislation by the year-end, has now backtracked. In his letter to Senate colleagues, Senator Schumer makes no mention of crypto legislation as part of their key priorities for passing bipartisan legislation in the remaining months of Congress.

During the Crypto for Harris Townhall Meeting in mid-August, Chuck Schumer said: “We cannot afford to continue to sit on the sidelines, because then we risk crypto going overseas to lowest common denominator countries where there’ll be no regulation at all, and if we get nothing done, extremists win.”

He also shared his strong intentions to bring crypto legislation to the US by the year-end. But Schumer clearly backtracks on his promises. Journalist Terret stated that instead, the focus in his letter shifted toward artificial intelligence.

Kamala Harris Policy Doesn’t Have Crypto

After a strong push for pro-crypto policies by Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump, Kamala Harris’s campaign team is making all efforts to reach out to the crypto industry. Pro-crypto Democratic supporters like billionaire Mark Cuban have also been working for the Crypto4Harris campaign. Interestingly, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen is also supporting Kamala Harris along with 88 other executives. However, it seems that the Vice President continues to ignore crypto as part of her policy decision.

Interestingly, Kamala Harris continues to take crypto donations via the Coinbase platform, per the CoinGape report last week. Crypto lawyer MetaLawMan called out the Harris bluff stating how there’s no mention of crypto or US crypto legislation on her official campaign website. “There is no mention of digital assets, crypto, or blockchain technology anywhere,” he said.

MetaLawMan stated that he’s not surprised at all with the current developments and that he doesn’t expect anything better from the Harris team on crypto.

On the other hand, a New York Times report suggests that Harris has been losing grounds to Donald Trump per the latest major nonpartisan national survey.
