Vice President Harris's economic policy focuses on emerging technologies, with mixed reactions in the encryption community.

U.S. Vice President Harris recently delivered a speech at the Pittsburgh Economic Club, emphasizing that the United States will strive to maintain global leadership in the technology sectors that will define the next century, including emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and blockchain. She then referenced "digital assets" again in the 80-page economic plan she unveiled, sparking widespread discussion in the encryption community.

In this document titled "Opening New Pathways for the Middle Class: A Plan for Lowering Costs and Creating Opportunity in the Economy," Harris and partner Walz propose the "American Forward Strategy." This strategy aims to propel American industrial development into a new era by promoting growth in manufacturing and the application of new technologies. The plan not only focuses on the modernization of traditional industries such as "clean iron and steel" but also specifically mentions investment in emerging technologies.

The document states: "We will encourage the development of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital assets, while protecting the rights of consumers and investors. We will create a secure business environment and establish consistent, transparent rules." This is consistent with Harris's earlier remarks at a fundraising event in New York, showing that she has begun to follow the digital asset field.

However, the encryption community has mixed reactions to Harris's stance. Some believe that her statements lack specific details, making it difficult to assess her true attitude. Tim Kravchunovsky, the CEO of the decentralized telecom network Chirp, stated: "We haven't heard any details about how to provide concrete support." He hopes to hear more specific policy information.

In contrast, former President Trump has been active in the encryption field recently. He not only publicly announced his support for cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin but also attended the Bitcoin conference, proposed a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve plan, and launched a new series of NFTs. These actions further solidified his influence within the encryption community.

Nonetheless, some analysts believe that Harris's position has made progress. Adam Cochran stated that while some are dissatisfied with Harris's ambiguous stance, the current situation still represents a form of progress.

The latest poll results show that among cryptocurrency holders, Trump's support rate leads Harris by 12 percentage points. This gap is completely reversed among non-cryptocurrency holders. The survey also found that about 15% of respondents reported owning or having owned cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or similar digital products, with a significantly higher proportion of men than women, and mostly consisting of young voters and minorities.

With less than two months to go until the election, most encryption voters are hoping to hear clearer and more targeted policy positions. It remains to be seen whether the Harris team will elaborate on their policies regarding blockchain, digital assets, and cryptocurrencies in the upcoming campaign.

In fundraising, Harris recently set a personal record by raising $27 million at an event in New York. In contrast, Trump's fundraising progress seems to lag behind; he plans to hold several high-dollar fundraising events in the coming weeks to catch up.
