Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal revealed in a Tuesday Bloomberg TV appearance that he’s “encouraged” by efforts made by Kamala Harris’ campaign that may signify her “new approach” to crypto.

Noting that both the Democratic nominee and Republican pick Donald Trump’s camps have been “in touch” over digital asset policy regulation, the crypto exhange’s legal head said that while Trump has endorsed the crypto sector more “explicitly” on the campaign trail, there are signs that Harris may also embrace the blockchain industry.

“We’ve been encouraged even as the current administration under Gary Gensler continues with its campaign of regulation-by-enforcement, the Harris campaign – which of course stands separate from the administration – has reached out, has expressed interest, and has begun discussions to what a new approach to crypto and digital assets could look like,” Grewal said.

Equally important, the Coinbase executive claimed that no matter the results of this year’s elections, the federal legislature is heading in a crypto-friendly direction.

“I think there’s no question about it: we are going to see a pro-crypto congress regardless of the particular outcome in individual races and of course the outcome in the presidential race,” Grewal said.

Grewal’s commentary comes at a pivotal point in the election cycle with less than two months for both Trump and Harris face off at the ballot box in November.
