Kamala Harris pledged that, if elected as the next U.S. president, her administration would focus on promoting the growth of digital assets and artificial intelligence (AI).

Speaking at a Wall Street fundraiser in Manhattan, she stated, “We will work together to invest in America’s competitiveness and future. We will support innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while ensuring the protection of consumers and investors.” Her comments, first reported by Bloomberg, highlighted her vision for embracing emerging technologies.

While Harris avoided mentioning Bitcoin and other crypto assets directly—issues that have gained importance in the 2024 U.S. presidential election—reports suggest that her campaign is quietly working with industry leaders to rebuild the Democratic Party’s relationship with the crypto sector.

Her remarks mark her first public endorsement of digital assets as the Democratic frontrunner, positioning her differently from President Joe Biden's administration, which some view as unfriendly to the crypto industry.

Harris also emphasized her goal of creating a stable business environment with clear regulations, supporting industries such as semiconductors and clean energy while cutting down on bureaucracy. Her commitment to fostering digital asset growth signals a more favorable stance toward the crypto sector than the current administration, earning positive feedback from many within the industry.
