As an analyst with over two decades of experience in finance and politics, I find the collaboration between Anthony Scaramucci and Kamala Harris intriguing. Scaramucci’s background as a former White House Communications Director under President Trump gives him unique insights into both parties, making his efforts to bridge the gap between Democrats and the crypto industry particularly noteworthy.


According to reports, Anthony Scaramucci – the creator of the New York-based financial company SkyBridge Capital – has disclosed his involvement in crafting cryptocurrency strategies for the political campaign of Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

As reported by CNBC, Scaramucci disclosed at the TOKEN2049 crypto conference on Thursday that crypto enthusiasts are currently negotiating with Kamala Harris to formulate pro-crypto policies before the November elections. He added that Harris will participate in some crypto-related discussions later this week, according to his statement.

The founder of SkyBridge noted that crypto supporters are making efforts to separate Democratic figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC chairman Gary Gensler, who are well-known for their antagonism towards the cryptocurrency sector.

A collection of individuals who support cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin supporters, are collaborating with her in an effort to disassociate the Democratic Party from both Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler,” he mentioned.

Scaramucci Applauds Trump’s Crypto-Friendly Stance

Regarding the strained connection between Scaramucci and ex-President Donald Trump, it’s worth noting that Scaramucci commended Trump for acknowledging the significance of the cryptocurrency sector. Previously, Scaramucci held the position of Communications Director at the White House under Trump in 2017; however, he was dismissed after only six days in this role.

As a crypto investor, I may have mixed emotions about President Trump, but I must admit that I appreciate his recognition of the significance of this industry to the U.S. It’s ironic, in my view, how he seems to be leading the Democrats towards a more moderate stance on regulation, perhaps unwittingly.

Over the recent period, Trump has been vocal about his support for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and advocating for the crypto sector. Additionally, his family has introduced a project called World Liberty Financial, intended to function as a digital banking platform within the cryptocurrency realm.

Crypto Not a Partisan Issue

Although Harris hasn’t publicly revealed her views on cryptocurrency yet, Scaramucci mentioned that they are currently developing policies intended to boost the crypto sector. He further noted that these initiatives seem to be moving in a positive and promising direction.

Scaramucci emphasized that he and the crypto supporters aim to keep government policies surrounding crypto from turning into a divisive political issue. In his words, they strive for a non-partisan approach in the U.S., where the growth and development of cryptocurrency is not affected by party politics or tribal disputes.

Simultaneously, even though it’s not entirely clear where she stands on the issue, Harris has persistently garnered backing from influential figures in the cryptocurrency sphere, such as Ripple‘s co-founder, Chris Larsen.
