Fri Sep 20 12:33:41 UTC 2024: ## Crypto Advocates Lobby Vice President Harris Ahead of 2024 Election

**Singapore** – Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, has revealed that he and a group of cryptocurrency advocates are working with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to shape her campaign’s policies on digital assets ahead of the 2024 election.

Speaking at the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore, Scaramucci expressed optimism about the direction of these conversations, stating that Harris has been open to hearing out crypto proponents. The group aims to guide Harris away from the positions held by Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chair Gary Gensler, both known for their critical stance toward the crypto industry.

Scaramucci, a public supporter of Harris’s 2024 campaign, emphasized the importance of creating a bipartisan framework for crypto regulation in the U.S., stating, “We want crypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard, unstrained from political and tribal conflicts.”

While former President Donald Trump has publicly championed pro-crypto policies, Harris’s stance on the issue remains less clear. Scaramucci acknowledged that Harris has not yet made her views on crypto widely known but is hopeful that her views will align more with the industry’s interests as the campaign progresses.

This news comes amidst growing concerns within the crypto industry about the potential for overly restrictive regulations. Many see the positions of Warren and Gensler as detrimental to the industry’s growth. This lobbying effort by Scaramucci and other crypto advocates aims to influence the future of crypto regulation in the U.S. and ensure that the industry’s interests are represented in the upcoming election.
