As the 2024 presidential race heats up, internal debates within the Democratic Party are drawing attention, particularly regarding Vice President Kamala Harris‘s potential candidacy. Recent polling data and betting odds suggest that Harris might have a more substantial chance against Donald Trump than President Joe Biden.
This development has sparked discussions about the potential regulatory impacts on various industries, including digital assets.
Harris vs. Biden: Polling Insights
Data from FiveThirtyEight revealed Harris might outperform Biden in several key swing states. Harris showed a better likelihood of securing votes against Trump in states such as Georgia, Nevada and Michigan. Swing states play a critical role in determining the outcome of presidential elections, making these findings particularly noteworthy.
Implications for Digital Asset Regulations
The Biden administration implemented numerous regulations to stabilize the digital asset market and prevent fraud. However, these measures have also increased compliance costs for digital asset companies.
Should Harris become the Democratic nominee and win the presidency, her administration might introduce additional regulatory policies. Harris has historically supported solid financial regulations, which could extend to the cryptocurrency market.
