CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Decrypt, in order to win the support of black male voters, the campaign team of Democratic presidential candidate Harris released an outreach agenda this week, which included a promise to formulate cryptocurrency regulatory policies to protect black men who invest in digital assets.
It was the most specific statement yet from the current vice president, who has cut short her campaign since taking over for Biden in July and paid far less attention to cryptocurrencies than her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump.
Harris’ campaign’s move this week drew mixed reactions. While some cryptocurrency investors and industry insiders praised Harris’ tougher language on cryptocurrency regulation, others criticized the language for specifically targeting Black men.
“Studies show that more than a quarter of black Americans own cryptocurrency, compared to only about 15% of white people, so cryptocurrency is more likely to be accepted,” continued Dr. Emdad, director of Morgan State University’s Center for Blockchain and Financial Technology Research. “People have been waiting, and I think it’s a little late — but the announcement was necessary regardless.” [Original link]
