Crypto executives and advocate groups are reportedly looking to raise $100K for US Vice President <\/span>Kamala Harris<\/span><\/a> in an attempt to encourage a more relaxed stance towards the digital asset space should she win the November election.<\/span><\/p>\n According to an Aug. 30 <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> by Reuters, the group is planning the fundraiser for Sept. 13 in Washington. Tickets for the event will be priced between $500 and $5,000.<\/span><\/p>\n Organizers of the fundraiser hope the event will lead to the Democratic nominee softening her stance towards the nascent crypto industry. This comes after several US companies operating in the sector were targeted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for alleged securities violations under President Joe Biden.<\/span><\/p>\n Among the fundraiser’s organizers is the Blockchain Foundation. Cleve Mesidor, an executive director at the Blockchain Foundation, hopes that the event will facilitate talks about how Harris could back the crypto industry should she take the White House.<\/span><\/p>\n The upcoming fundraiser follows the formation of another group by the name of Crypto4Harris, which has thrown its support behind Harris and hosted a virtual town hall last month. Several Democratic Party lawmakers attended the event.<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you all for joining the #Crypto4Harris<\/a> Town Hall 🇺🇸 <\/p>\n We showcased so many amazing builders, founders, investors and political leaders who are eager and willing to engage @KamalaHQ<\/a> regarding a \"reset\" on U.S. crypto policy.<\/p>\n Big news of the night was of course @SenSchumer<\/a>…<\/p>\n — Crypto4Harris (@Crypto4Harris) August 15, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
