SkyBridge Capital’s founder Anthony Scaramucci announced a collaboration with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to shape her campaign’s digital asset policies, signaling a progressive tilt away from anti-crypto figures within the Democratic Party. During the TOKEN2049 conference, Scaramucci revealed that a team of cryptocurrency advocates is actively guiding Harris to adopt industry-friendly stances, distancing her from notable critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

Scaramucci expressed optimism about the partnership’s direction, highlighting scheduled discussions with Harris that could further align her policies with the interests of the crypto community. This initiative marks a significant shift, potentially positioning the Democrats closer to a bipartisan approach on cryptocurrency regulation ahead of the upcoming elections.

The move comes amid increasing support for cryptocurrency from various political figures, including former President Donald Trump, who recently emphasized making the U.S. a global hub for digital assets. As the political landscape evolves, these developments suggest a growing acknowledgment of cryptocurrency’s significance in shaping future economic policies.
