Crypto strategy has significantly boosted Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, elevating her win odds to 40%.
Crypto Industry Support
Reports of Vice President Kamala Harris's team reaching out to influential figures in the Bitcoin industry have given her presidential campaign an unexpected boost. Because of this calculated maneuver, her election odds have changed significantly; they were up 5% earlier in the day, but now they're down a bit.
Reportedly reaching out to key crypto companies has given Kamala Harris's presidential campaign a boost. Her chances of winning have been temporarily improved as a result of this outreach, which is an effort to improve ties between the Democratic Party and the cryptocurrency business, Coingape reports.
Democratic Nomination Endorsement
Joe Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president in 2024 after she withdrew from the contest on July 21. The impending electoral environment has been changed by this unanticipated move.
Even while she is still behind Republican nominee Donald Trump, Harris has been making some progress in recent surveys. Polymarket data suggests that among probable voters, Trump has 59% support while Harris has 40% as of July 27th. The odds of Harris's election have climbed by 2%, while Trump's have fallen by 1%.
Meeting Key Crypto Firms
In the next few days, Harris's campaign team is reportedly trying to set up meetings with cryptocurrency firms like Ripple, Coinbase, and Circle. This action follows the crypto community's vocal endorsement of Trump and condemnation of the crypto policies enacted by the Biden administration.
According to Harris's campaign, the major goal of these gatherings is not to solicit fresh financial support. Instead, they are being presented as a way for the Democrats to show that they are "pro-business, responsible business," as one person close to the campaign put it.
The 2024 Bitcoin Conference is about to begin, and the crypto community is criticizing Harris for not speaking at the conference despite earlier speculations to the contrary. Among crypto fans, her absence was viewed as a monumental error that only served to deepen their sadness.
RFK Jr.’s Bitcoin Plan
At the Bitcoin Conference, however, RFK Jr., a rival candidate, made a daring promise: if elected president, he will sign an executive order requiring the US to purchase 550 Bitcoin every day until a reserve of 4 million BTC is built.
This nuanced dynamic between politicians and the Bitcoin industry in the run-up to the 2024 election is brought to light by these divergent viewpoints.
