Vice President Kamala Harris has announced her support for a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets. This initiative is part of her broader 'Opportunity Economy' agenda, which aims to protect Black men who invest in and own these assets. Harris is expected to provide more details on this policy in a speech today in Erie, Pennsylvania, according to NPR. The policy has sparked discussions about its focus on Black men and its timing just weeks before the upcoming election. Critics have noted that the Harris-Walz policy team did not consult with diverse leaders in the crypto industry before rolling out this plan. Additionally, Harris's agenda includes support for small businesses, cannabis legalization, and AI.
