According to ChainCatcher, U.S. Vice President Harris commented on the crypto industry for the first time at a recent Wall Street fundraiser, incorporating artificial intelligence and crypto technology into her vision of an “opportunity economy.”
“To build an opportunity economy, I will bring together workers, small businesses, founders, innovators, and large corporations,” Harris said. “Working together, we will invest in American competitiveness and invest in America’s future. We will encourage innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and digital assets while protecting consumers and investors. We will create a safe business environment with consistent and transparent rules of the road.”
Organizers billed the Manhattan fundraiser as Harris' last chance to speak in person in New York before the November election, and one source called it "the hottest ticket of the moment." Tickets for the event, which started at $500 and went up to $1 million, also featured celebrities Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Porter.
Reuters reported on Sunday that Harris plans to "launch a new set of economic policies this week aimed at helping Americans build wealth and creating economic incentives for businesses to help achieve that goal," but again, there are few details.
