He Jinli first mentioned digital assets, Coinbase: The era of Biden and Warren has ended

Earlier at a fundraising event in New York, Democratic presidential candidate Harris changed her previously ambiguous stance and for the first time mentioned cryptocurrency-related topics, incorporating artificial intelligence and digital assets into her opportunity economy platform. This positive attitude has garnered widespread praise from the industry. Faryar Shirzade, policy chief at Coinbase, believes that this indicates the end of the era of President Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for their digital asset regulation stance.

September marks a turning point for Harris, shifting towards a crypto-friendly stance?

"I will bring together labor, small business owners, innovators, and large corporations to invest in America's competitiveness and future. We will promote innovative technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and digital assets, while protecting the rights of consumers and investors," said Harris.

In the past, she has remained silent on digital asset issues, despite her opponent Trump's efforts to woo related groups in this election. There are also differences of opinion within the Democratic Party, with SEC Chairman appointed by current President Biden, Gary Gensler, constantly criticizing the cryptocurrency industry, and Senator Elizabeth Warren, known as Warren, has always been a staunch advocate of regulation. On the other hand, initiatives such as Crypto for Harris have emerged within the Democratic Party, and Harris's team has also met with industry representatives several times.

This vague stance changed in September, when on September 5th, it was reported that Harris accepted political donations in the form of cryptocurrency as a payment channel, and today she made positive remarks about the crypto industry.

Hayden Adams, CEO of Uniswap Labs, expressed on Twitter, "Harris just stated that she will encourage innovative technologies like digital assets. I believe this is the first time she has publicly mentioned cryptocurrency, and in a positive way." He responded to many people's dissatisfaction with the Democratic government: "Biden is not favorable to cryptocurrencies, actions speak louder than words. But progress is progress, it needs to start somewhere, and should be encouraged. Harris's positive statement on technology is much more than what Biden and Trump did during their presidencies."

Meanwhile, Faryar Shirzad, Coinbase's policy director, also stated that this is a significant and constructive statement. He said, "It is not as progressive as Trump's stance, but it is still worth noting. Because she recognizes the importance of digital asset innovation, equally important to artificial intelligence. She understands there is a way to promote innovation while protecting consumers and investors. Her statement was made after close communication between the core team and the industry, showing a thoughtful and open attitude towards cryptocurrency."

He pointed out that Harris deliberately mentioning cryptocurrency is sending a clear message that the era of Biden and Warren has come to an end. Her statement today is significant, and the industry should take note.
