Hold onto your digital wallets, folks! Anthony Scaramucci, the mastermind behind SkyBridge Capital, is shaking things up in the political world of crypto. He’s teaming up with none other than Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris to cook up some crypto-friendly policies. Yep, you heard it right!
Speaking at the buzzing TOKEN2049 crypto conference, Scaramucci spilled the beans about his latest venture. He revealed that a squad of crypto champions is in deep talks with Harris, crafting policies that could give the crypto world a sigh of relief. And guess what? Harris herself is jumping into these discussions this week.
So, what’s the game plan? Scaramucci and his crypto pals are on a mission to steer the Democrats away from the anti-crypto vibes of Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC chair Gary Gensler. He’s making it clear: “We’re working with Kamala to carve out a more crypto-friendly path for the Democrats.”
Now, here’s a plot twist. Despite the rocky history between Scaramucci and former President Trump, he’s giving a nod to Trump for recognizing the crypto industry's potential. Scaramucci, who had a brief but memorable stint as Trump’s Communications Director, is all about bipartisan support for crypto. He even praised Trump for nudging the Democrats towards a middle ground on crypto regulation.
Trump, on his end, has been waving the crypto flag high, championing Bitcoin and launching World Liberty Financial, a crypto banking project. The crypto community is watching closely as Harris, who hasn’t yet laid out her crypto cards, works with Scaramucci on policies that could boost the industry.
Scaramucci stressed the importance of keeping crypto out of the partisan boxing ring. He and his allies want U.S. crypto policies to be a bipartisan affair, free from political brawls. And even though Kamala Harris hasn’t officially declared her stance, she’s getting a thumbs-up from big crypto names like Chris Larsen, co-founder of Ripple.
Stay tuned, crypto enthusiasts! This political drama is just heating up, and it could mean big things for the future of digital currencies in the U.S.
