The Chamber of Progress, a group championing digital innovation, is pushing for clear answers on cryptocurrency from presidential candidates.
In a recent appeal, the Chamber asked ABC debate moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir to address crypto regulation during the upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
The Chamber’s letter, sent on September 5, stresses the importance of cryptocurrency as a growing part of the American economy.
With over 18 million Americans involved in crypto trading or holding digital assets, the organization argues that voters must understand each candidate’s stance before the November election.
Recent surveys show that one in five Americans engage with crypto, and there’s significant interest among younger voters and minority communities.
The letter points out that these groups are increasingly influential and concerned about how digital assets will be regulated.
The letter also notes the shifting positions of the two main candidates.
Former President Trump, who previously dismissed crypto, is now actively seeking support from the crypto community.
Meanwhile, Vice President Harris has yet to release a detailed crypto policy but has shown openness to regulations that support industry growth and consumer protection.
