‘Crypto for Harris’ town hall fails to convince industry amid Harris's absence

The "Crypto for Harris" town hall on Aug. 15 aimed to reassure the cryptocurrency industry about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s potential support for digital assets but ultimately fell short, Fox Business reported. Despite the participation of prominent Democratic figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the absence of Harris and her campaign staff led to significant disappointment and skepticism among viewers. While Schumer’s commitment to advancing crypto legislation was well-received, the event was criticized for its lack of Harris’s direct input and reliance on pre-recorded messages. This left many attendees feeling that the town hall failed to address critical issues or offer clear insights into Harris's crypto policies, deepening doubts about the Democratic approach to the industry, according to the media outlet.
