Cuban has also said he’s hearing that a potential Harris administration would be “far more open” to business, AI and other tech innovation.
Harris hasn’t publicly discussed her views on the crypto industry, but these early signs suggest she may be at least considering policies better for the development of crypto in the US.

Speaking to Decrypt on Tuesday, entrepreneur and noted Bitcoin supporter, Mark Cuban, said the Harris campaign has already been in touch seeking his input on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Cuban said it was a “good sign” that Harris will adopt a more positive posture towards crypto.
In a separate interview with Politico yesterday, Cuban also said he’s hearing feedback that the Harris campaign seems to be “far more open” to business and tech innovation generally than the Biden administration has been.
Cuban: Harris Team Engaging with Crypto and Tech
In his interview with Decrypt, Cuban said that Harris’ camp had engaged with him and asked him several questions about crypto:
Cuban added that he’s not aware of any other crypto industry figures who’ve been contacted by the Harris team. He told Politico that he’s hearing that the Harris team seems to be more open to supporting business and tech innovation generally than Biden has been:

Harris’ Position on Crypto Remains Unclear Despite Comments
Despite Cuban’s comments, Harris still hasn’t publicly articulated her position on crypto and it remains unclear exactly how she intends to govern the industry, if elected.

On the bright side for crypto, Harris—who lived much of her life in San Francisco—is considered to be well connected within the Silicon Valley tech scene, suggesting she understands the importance of technological innovation and may have insight into the revolutionary potential of crypto. It also makes political sense for Harris to shift towards a more positive stance on crypto to nullify Trump’s aggressive courting of the industry during his campaign.Mark Cuban Reveals: Kamala Harris Reached Out with ‘Multiple Questions’ on Crypto

On the down side, Harris may seek to provide regulatory continuity and maintain Biden era policies towards crypto which at times have seemed overly punitive and have hampered the development of the industry.
Based on Cuban’s comments though, it does appear that the Harris campaign is at least weighing their options and considering taking a friendlier approach to digital assets — something all crypto investors will be happy to see.
