Speaking to attendees at an event hosted by The Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Harris reinforced her innovation-driven agenda, explicitly highlighting blockchain technology.
From Harris’ latest speech today she says that the US should become “Dominant in Blockchain”
I’m sure the “silence isn’t enough” “digital assets isn’t enough” crowd will move the goal post again.
But: progress!

“We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, remain dominant in AI and quantum computing, blockchain, and other emerging technologies, and expand our lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing,” she said.
The former top prosecutor also appeared to hint at enforcing crypto-friendly regulations, despite remaining vague on specific details following the release of her economic plan on Wednesday.
“We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting consumers and investors,” Harris continued. “We will create a safe business environment with consistent and transparent rules of the road.”

Harris’s comments come at a critical juncture in the election cycle, with recent polls indicating a narrowing gap between the current U.S. vice president and Trump.
While Trump has largely been viewed as the pro-crypto candidate, Harris has gradually secured support from key figures in the blockchain sector, including long-time digital asset investor and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban, who also attended Wednesday’s event at Carnegie Mellon University.
Meanwhile, Trump took to the campaign trail on Wednesday, speaking at a rally in Mint Hall, North Carolina—a major battleground state this November.
Trump, who recently launched his family’s new crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, has pledged to implement pro-crypto policies and remove current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler if he wins the Oval Office in November.
The SEC has long been a polarizing force in crypto politics, largely due to its stringent regulation-by-enforcement approach toward the blockchain sector as a whole. Trump has criticized the agency for investigating American digital asset entrepreneurs.
“If for some reason bad, bad things happen and we don’t win the election, those people that were under investigation and that are free as a bird right now, people that were being looked at in the crypto world, they will be living in hell because it will start the day after the election if they win,” he said.
