U.S. Vice President Harris stated in a speech at the Pittsburgh Economic Club on Wednesday that under her leadership, the United States will "recommit" to maintaining global leadership in defining areas of the next century, "maintaining dominance in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, blockchain and other emerging technologies." Until last weekend, Harris had remained silent about cryptocurrency during her campaign.
Recently at a Wall Street fundraising event held in Manhattan, Harris said that artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency are part of her vision for an "opportunity economy". VanEck analysts suggest that the results of November's election could be mixed for cryptocurrencies. "We believe that while both Harris and Trump are bullish on Bitcoin, they have both had more subtle impacts on the broader digital asset market,"
Analysts wrote earlier this week: “Both administrations may maintain fiscal spending which could lead to further quantitative easing - especially if anti-business policies intensify.” They pointed out that having Harris as president might be more beneficial for Bitcoin because it would “accelerate many structural issues with Bitcoin adoption.”
