Sources: Kamala Harris' advisers have approached top crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple Labs, to “reset” relations with the industry

Vice-president's team aims to improve relations after industry criticism of the Biden administration

Team Harris moves fast. It's surprising and heartening to see them focusing on this on (checks watch) day six of her presidential candidacy. Shows they see the risk of letting Trump dominate this issue area so far.

It's hard to think of someone more universally admired in crypto than Vitalik Buterin. That he's arguing against people determining their political support only based on candidates' crypto issues is important and underscores that crypto owners are not yet definitively pro-Trump.
