Cryptocurrency advocate Vivek Ramaswamy believed political compulsions would ultimately drive Vice President Kamala Harris to embrace the asset class and adopt a more "thoughtful" position.
What Happened: During an interview with CNBC Television on Monday, Ramaswamy stated that Harris' verbiage would start reflecting a supportive position.
"I do think that part of the reason why you see Donald Trump's speech at the Bitcoin conference. It's just a matter of competing for votes," Ramaswamy, who was in the fray for a while as the potential Republican presidential candidate for the upcoming elections, argued.
He said that, as an American, he would support this position, rising above partisan politics. "Even if she offers a thoughtful digital assets framework or policy, even if I don't agree with all of it, I think that'll be a good thing for the country."
That said, he urged Harris to rise above rhetoric and take positions on issues of specific interest to the cryptocurrency community, like self-custody of assets, and views on SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

Why It Matters: Ramaswamy's remarks came after he predicted at least a 1% jump in Trump's vote share following his massive support for the cryptocurrency industry at the Bitcoin 2024 conference.
Trump promised to end efforts by the U.S. government to create a CBDC. Additionally, he advocated for setting up a national Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) stockpile.
However, the Democratic-leaning lobby has taken steps to counterbalance Trump's campaign, launching a "Crypto for Harris" campaign.

加密貨幣倡導者維維克·拉馬斯瓦米認爲,政治強迫最終將促使副總統卡馬拉·賀錦麗接受該資產類別並採取更 「深思熟慮」 的立場。
發生了什麼:在週一接受CNBC電視臺採訪時,拉馬斯瓦米表示,賀錦麗的措辭將開始反映支持立場。
「我確實認爲這是你看到唐納德·特朗普在比特幣會議上的講話的部分原因。這只是爭奪選票的問題。」 作爲即將舉行的選舉的潛在共和黨總統候選人蔘與競爭一段時間的拉馬斯瓦米爭辯說。
他說,作爲美國人,他將支持這一立場,超越黨派政治。「即使她提供了周到的數字資產框架或政策,即使我不同意所有內容,我也認爲這對國家來說將是一件好事。」
儘管如此,他敦促賀錦麗放棄言論,就加密貨幣社區特別感興趣的問題採取立場,例如資產的自我託管以及對美國證券交易委員會主席加里·根斯勒的看法。

爲何重要:拉馬斯瓦米的講話是在他預測特朗普在2024年比特幣會議上大力支持加密貨幣行業後,他的選票份額將增長至少1%之後發表的。
特朗普承諾結束美國政府創建CBDC的努力。此外,他主張建立全國比特幣(加密貨幣:BTC)庫存。
但是,傾向於民主黨的遊說團體已採取措施來平衡特朗普的競選活動,發起了 「爲賀錦麗加密」 運動。
