Kamala Harris has made her first statement in favor of protecting crypto, saying she wants the United States to remain “dominant” in blockchain, artificial intelligence, and other nascent technology industries.
“We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, remain dominant in AI and quantum computing, blockchain and other emerging technologies, [and] expand our lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing,” Harris said in a Sept. 25 speech at The Economic Club of Pittsburgh.
“The next generation of breakthroughs—from advanced batteries to geothermal to advanced nuclear—are not just invented, but built here in America by American workers,” she added.
Harris reportedly made private statements in favor of “digital assets” while courting donors during a fundraising event in New York on Sept. 22.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
