TechFlow news — On September 23, according to The Block, U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris made her first public remarks on the cryptocurrency industry during a fundraising event on Wall Street in New York. As reported by Bloomberg journalist Jennifer Epstein, Harris outlined her vision of an "economy of opportunity," stating: "To build an economy of opportunity, I will convene labor, small businesses, founders, innovators, and large corporations. Together, we will invest in America’s competitiveness and future. We will encourage innovation in technologies like artificial intelligence and digital assets, while protecting consumer and investor rights. We will create a safe business environment with consistent and transparent rules."
The high-profile fundraiser, described by organizers as the final chance to see Harris in New York before the election, featured ticket prices starting at $500 and going up to $1 million, aiming to expand Harris's already substantial financial lead over her opponent Donald Trump. The event drew celebrities including Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg, and Billy Porter.
Reuters reported the same day that Harris's campaign plans to roll out a series of new economic policies this week. These policies aim to help Americans build wealth and include economic incentives for businesses to support this goal. While specific details have not yet been released, they are expected to align with the "economy of opportunity" framework Harris presented at the fundraiser.
