Even though Cuban was skeptical about the inquiries process he was not sure whether Kamala’s advisor consulted other market players.

The Democrat presidential candidate is expected to confirm her attendance at the end of the day. The event will be graced by over 20,000 attendees from tech, finance, and crypto. If she will attend the event it will be the first time Harris shares a podium with his top rival Donald Trump.

In a separate report, the American newspaper Politico confirmed that entrepreneurs and business leaders were optimistic that Harris would foster the development of emerging technologies such as crypto if he ascended office. 

Cuban told Politico if Harris wins the November 5 election she will welcome emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), and crypto among others.

On the campaign trail, Trump has emerged as a crypto crypto-friendly politician seeking to retake the White House in November. He vowed to make America to be the first country to attain the Bitcoin dream.

Trump pledged to ban the development of the Central Bank digital currency (CBDC) since it deprived Americans of financial privacy. Reportedly Trump’s pro-crypto spirit has encouraged renowned investors such as the Winklevoss brothers and Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell to support his reelection through crypto donations. 

Elsewhere crypto firms have set aside $160 million to support the political candidate who will advocate for crypto assets. Based on the manifesto and policies shared during the presidential debates there is the likelihood of the Republican getting the multimillion-dollar crypto donation. 

Trump’s pro-crypto move forced the Biden administration to ease policies on crypto assets. For years Biden administration led by the US Securities and Exchange Commission extended their enforcement action on the crypto industry. 

Also, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has been against the development of the crypto industry.
