Kamala Harris Pro-Crypto Claims Under Fire As Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Says Industry Has ‘’Zero Trust’’

A Kamala Harris adviser said the vice president would back policies to help the growth of the crypto industry if she wins November’s election, but the comments were slammed by industry leaders, including Cardano CEO Charles Hoskinson.

 “We need specific, tangible actions,” Hoskinson said in an Aug. 21 post  on X. “No specific policy or proposal. Just talk. Will Gary be fired? What legislation do you support? What executive actions will be issued? I’m sorry there is ZERO trust.” 

Harris To Support Emerging Technologies

“She’s going to support policies that ensure that emerging technologies and that sort of industry can continue to grow,” said Brian Nelson, a senior campaign advisor on policy to Kamala Harris, at a roundtable event hosted at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, according to an Aug. 21 report  by Bloomberg.

Nate Geraci, the president of the ETF Store, also was critical of Nelson’s comments.

“Actions speak louder than words,” he said on X. The current administration, of which Harris is a part, “is decidedly anti-crypto,” he added.

Geraci said that there has to be a balance between innovation and regulation, and that the current administration has focused “solely on regulation.”

He wants Harris’s campaign to demonstrate that it is actively embracing innovation.
