SkyBridge founder: is working with Harris to help shape digital asset policy in the US presidential election

Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, said he and a group of cryptocurrency advocates are working with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on her digital asset policy for the upcoming November election. "There's a group of cryptocurrency advocates, bitcoin advocates, etc., who are working with her to move the Democratic Party away from Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler," he told a panel at the TOKEN 2049 annual conference on Thursday. Harris has been listening to cryptocurrency supporters, and we're pushing her to support policies that benefit the industry, he said, adding that the vice president even has some talks related to that this week. "I believe we are making progress, and I think it is moving in the right direction," Scaramucci said.
