Vivek Ramaswamy recently predicted that Vice President Kamala Harris might adopt a pro-crypto stance as part of her 2024 presidential campaign strategy. In an appearance on CNBC, Ramaswamy suggested that Harris could shift her rhetoric on digital assets to attract votes from the crypto community, especially given Donald Trump’s recent emphasis on the issue. He emphasised that Harris would need to go beyond vague statements and clarify her positions on key issues such as self-custody of assets and the leadership of the SEC under Gary Gensler to be taken seriously by the crypto community​. Ramaswamy also argued that any thoughtful crypto policy, even if coming from Harris, could contribute positively to the broader debate. However, skepticism remains within the crypto industry about Harris’ sincerity, especially following regulatory actions against crypto-friendly banks, which some see as evidence of continued hostility toward the sector under her leadership​.
