Mark Cuban To Attend Crypto4Harris Town Hall with Other Crypto Democrats

Democrats are making every push to build Kamala Harris’ image within the crypto industry ahead of the upcoming US elections in November. On Tuesday, August 6, the Democrats started a Crypto4Harris Group and will be having its first townhall meeting next week. Popular investors like Mark Cuban and Anthony Scaramucci have decided to attend this meeting.

The reason for the Democrats to float this Crypto4Harris update is to stop Donald Trump from dominating this issue as well as bridge the gap between the crypto administration and the Harris team. The official handle of Crypto4Harris Group on X describes it as “a grassroots network of crypto advocates organizing, fundraising, and developing a nuanced crypto-policy approach for the Harris For President campaign”.

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, along with other industry participants, will be speaking at the meeting. The billionaire has been facing heat for his endorsement of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

While Mark Cuban has been praising Harris and Walz for having a warm connection with people, VanEcks’ Matthew Sigel has lashed out at the entrepreneur asking him on what basis he draws an opinion when Kamala Harris has not given a single interview/debate yet even after being the Presidential nominee for the upcoming US elections.

As reported by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terret, the main organizers of Crypto4Harris Group include top industry players like Crypto Council CEO Sheila Warren as well as former Chainlisys executive Amanda Wick. SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci will also be attending the event.
