The U.S. Chamber of Digital Commerce Urges Vice President Kamala Harris to Support Cryptocurrencies
The U.S. Chamber of Digital Commerce has sent an open letter to Vice President Kamala Harris, urging her and the Democratic Party to take a more supportive and progressive stance towards cryptocurrencies. In the letter, the importance of digital assets and blockchain for the modern financial sector is emphasized, highlighting their potential for economic growth.
Emphasizing the Significance of Digital Assets
The Chamber recommends that Harris use formulations on the Democratic Party platform that support digital assets to better reflect their significance and demonstrate a commitment to new technologies. According to the authors of the letter, this could not only improve public access to financial services but also make the party more appealing to technology-oriented and cryptocurrency-focused voters.
Supporting Candidates and Creating a Favorable Regulatory Environment
Additionally, the letter underscores the need to support candidates who understand and endorse the crypto industry, which could enhance the Democratic Party’s attractiveness among supporters of digital assets. The Chamber also calls for more active engagement with leaders in the crypto industry to create a favorable regulatory environment.
Looking Towards the Future
«We hope that under your leadership, the Democratic Party will become more supportive of digital assets. Millions of Americans who believe in the transformative power of cryptocurrencies and cutting-edge technologies are waiting for this,» the letter states.
The U.S. Chamber of Digital Commerce has previously expressed its views on other issues in the cryptocurrency industry, condemning the arrest of top managers of the Binance exchange in Nigeria and supporting the crypto exchange Kraken in its legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
