A group of “industry leaders, policy experts, and everyday crypto-enthusiasts” are throwing their support behind Kamala Harris and encouraging the Democratic nominee to develop a straightforward policy platform on digital assets.

In an Aug. 6 X post, the organization ‘Crypto Advocates for Harris’ announced that it planned to hold a virtual town hall with United States lawmakers, policymakers, and industry leaders, including entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban. Cointelegraph reached out to Cuban for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

Cuban has been a Democratic donor in the 2024 election season and is  critical of the Republican Party under Donald Trump. He reportedly planned to vote for Joe Biden before the US President announced on July 21 that he did not intend to seek reelection.

After Biden removed himself from the 2024 presidential ticket, Cuban reportedly told Politico that Harris could be “far more open to business, [artificial intelligence], crypto and government as a service” than the US President. Before Biden’s withdrawal, Cuban criticized US Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler’s enforcement actions against crypto firms , suggesting it could cost him the election.

Harris, who announced on Aug. 6 that her running mate will be Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has not made public statements on crypto or suggested her platform on digital assets if she chooses to adopt one. Her campaign reportedly reached out to Cuban in July with questions about crypto policy.

The advocacy group called for Harris to adopt a “nuanced policy stance that positions America as a leader in digital assets.” The complete attendance list for the virtual town hall was unavailable to Cointelegraph, but as of Aug. 6, it included Coinbase’s Stand With Crypto community director Mason Lynaugh and Ava Protocol’s marketing head Sam Shev.
