Kamala Harris did not appear at the conference, though rumors had briefly circulated that she would. Instead, she told a Wall Street fund-raising event that as president she’d actively support “digital assets” and dispatched Chuck Schumer to participate in a Crypto4Harris event in which he promised ostensible pro-crypto legislation by the end of this year. (“Why are we here today?” Schumer asked. “Because we all support Vice President Kamala Harris to be our next president, and we all believe in the future of crypto.”)

More recently, Harris has deployed a kind of outreach team to crypto investors, enlisted the help of Mark Cuban in courting crypto and, in a targeted appeal to Black men, named protecting crypto assets as one of five key policy priorities.
