Kamala Harris Backs Crypto And AI In First Public Comments On Industry

US Vice President and Democratic candidate for president Kamala Harris made her first public statement on crypto, vowing to encourage investment in both the growing digital asset and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors.

“We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets, while protecting our consumers and investors,” Harris said at a fundraiser at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan, according to a Sept. 22 report by Bloomberg. ”I will bring together labor, small business founders and innovators and major companies. We will partner together to invest in America’s competitiveness, to invest in America’s future.”

Experts See Harris Comments As A Positive Sign

Several industry experts have shared their opinions about Harris’s first comments on crypto since she became the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate.

“This is an important and constructive statement from @KamalaHarris,” said Coinbase’s policy chief Faryar Shirzad in a Sept. 22 X post.

But he went on to say that Harris’s promise to invest in crypto and AI is “not as forward leaning” as the bullish crypto statements that have been made by her Republican rival Donald Trump. Nevertheless, he said it signals that Harris has recognized crypto innovation as “important.”

Alexander Grieve, government affairs vice president at Paradigm, also labeled Harris’s statement as “encouraging.” He added that the outcome of the election will have a positive effect on the nascent crypto industry, because it will finally bring an end to what he calls “the last anti-crypto administration.”

Kamala Harris Builds Polymarket Lead Over Trump

Harris’s odds of winning the election on the decentralized betting platform Polymarket have improved since her comments. Over the past 24 hours, the Democratic candidate’s odds rose 1% on Polymarket.

This added to the gain in the past month, pushing the total increase in the last 30 days to 5%. Meanwhile, Trump’s odds remained the same throughout the past day. 

Overall, bettors on Polymarket see a 52% chance of Harris taking the White House in November, while Trump’s odds stand at 47%.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...
