Billionaire investor Mark Cuban expressed his support for Kamala Harris’ attitude to the bitcoin business, praising her for addressing digital assets during her 2024 campaign. In a Notus interview, Cuban highlighted Harris’ proactive efforts to meet with crypto industry leaders, a departure from the Biden administration’s more stringent regulatory stance.
Cuban stated that Harris has been “seeking out meetings” with major people in the digital asset industry and listening to their issues, which has sparked the curiosity of many in the crypto community. Her attitude on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies has provided a new viewpoint for people who felt overlooked till now.
While Donald Trump has received strong support from the cryptocurrency sector, Cuban believes Harris’ desire to engage may persuade doubters. “You can’t take extreme positions if you want to bring a country together,” Cuban remarked on Oct. 3 in an interview with Farokh radio, referring to Trump’s strong reaction to the United States’ divided politics.
Cuban’s comments come as the cryptocurrency movement continues to advocate for less governmental interference. For them, Harris’ involvement marks a possibility for a new path in US crypto policy if she wins the presidency.
Both political parties are courting the crypto community this election season, recognizing the growing influence of digital assets in American politics. Trump, once critical of cryptocurrencies, has shifted his stance, now advocating for crypto-friendly policies.
On August 29, Trump revealed aspirations to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” if re-elected, referring to World Liberty Financial, an effort sponsored by his sons. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’ team has created the Crypto4Harris project to engage with the cryptocurrency community and counter Republican outreach. Her team is developing a pro-crypto policy framework to deepen Harris’ relationship with the sector.
