Harris Campaign Manager Advocates for Multiple Debates
Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris’ campaign manager, communicated to reporters the importance of providing the American electorate with multiple opportunities to see the candidates debate. She stressed that voters deserve more than one debate to make an informed decision before casting their ballots.
Debate Format and Details
The second debate, scheduled to be held at CNN’s facilities in Atlanta, will adhere to the same format as the initial debate on June 26. Both candidates will respond to questions from moderators over a span of 90 minutes, without an audience present to ensure a focused and uninterrupted discourse.
Scaramucci Assisting Harris in Shaping Crypto Policies
Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, revealed his involvement in assisting Kamala Harris with formulating pro-crypto policies for her campaign. Speaking at the TOKEN2049 crypto conference in Singapore, Scaramucci disclosed that he, along with other crypto advocates, aims to differentiate Harris’s stance from those of her opponents, such as Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
A Bipartisan Approach to Crypto
Scaramucci emphasized the group’s objective to establish crypto policies in the U.S. that transcend political divisions. He stated, “We want crypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard unstrained from political and tribal conflicts.”
Charles Hoskinson Expresses Concerns
Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson has voiced his concerns regarding the crypto policies of key U.S. political figures. He highlighted the uncertainty surrounding their positions and the potential impact on the industry.
Trump’s Interest in Bitcoin
While former President Trump has recently shown an interest in Bitcoin, Hoskinson believes this involvement could lead to regulatory complications. He warned that U.S. regulatory authorities might react unfavorably, potentially destabilizing the market.
Harris’s Policy Alignment with Biden Administration
Hoskinson also commented on Kamala Harris’s stance, suggesting her policies are likely to align with the current administration under President Biden. He pointed out that this alignment could pose challenges for the crypto industry.
Need for Clear Direction in Crypto Regulation
Hoskinson emphasized the necessity for a well-defined approach to the future of cryptocurrency in the U.S. He noted the lack of clarity from both candidates and the importance of establishing concrete policies.
Crypto Regulation as a Key Election Issue
The regulation of cryptocurrencies is anticipated to be a significant topic in the 2024 election. The outcome of the election could greatly influence crypto regulations. However, an executive at Standard Chartered has predicted that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by next year, regardless of the election results.
