U.S. Vice President Harris's economic policies focus on emerging technologies, and the encryption community has mixed reactions.

U.S. Vice President Harris recently delivered a speech at the Pittsburgh Economic Club, emphasizing that the United States will strive to maintain global leadership in the technology sector that will define the next century. She stated that the U.S. will continue to lead in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and blockchain. Additionally, a lengthy 80-page economic plan released by Harris's team again mentioned "digital assets."

In the document titled "A New Path for the Middle Class: A Plan for Cost Reduction and Opportunity Creation in the Economy," Harris proposed a "Strategy for America's Forward Progress." This strategy aims to usher in a new era of industrial development in the United States by promoting manufacturing growth and the application of new technologies. The plan focuses not only on the modernization of traditional industries but also places special emphasis on investment in emerging technologies.

In the plan, Harris stated that she would encourage the development of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital assets, while also focusing on protecting the interests of consumers and investors. She promised to create a secure business environment and establish consistent, transparent rules.

The response from the encryption community to Harris's first public comments on digital assets has been mixed. Some view it as a positive signal that high-level leaders are starting to pay attention to this field. However, there are also critical voices pointing out that Harris's statements lack specific details and substantive content.

The CEO of a certain decentralized telecom network expressed hope to hear more specific policy information from the Harris campaign team. He pointed out that, in contrast, a former president has clearly outlined his encryption policies, such as a plan to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

A senior software engineer from a payment company also believes that the description of digital assets in the Harris-Wolf economic plan is "too vague". They want to see clearer and more detailed policy directions.

However, some analysts have pointed out that, although Harris's stance may not be specific enough, it already represents a kind of progress. The shift from complete silence to openly mentioning digital assets shows that the government's attention to this area is increasing.

It is worth noting that the latest poll results show that among cryptocurrency holders, Harris's support rate lags behind that of her main opponent. According to a national poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University, Harris's support rate among potential voters who own cryptocurrency is 38%, while her opponent's is 50%.

The poll also revealed that about 15% of respondents stated that they own or have ever owned encryption currencies, NFTs, or similar digital products. Among encryption currency holders, the proportion of males is significantly higher than that of females, and these males tend to be younger voters belonging to racial minority groups.

With less than two months left until the election, most encryption voters hope to hear more clear and targeted policy positions. Whether Harris and her team will elaborate in more detail on their policies regarding blockchain, digital assets, and especially cryptocurrencies during the upcoming campaign remains to be seen.
