US Election Situation Changes Dramatically: Harris's Support Soars, the Encryption Industry May Become Key

Recently, there have been remarkable changes in the American political landscape. On a certain prediction market, the probability of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris winning has exceeded a historical high, reaching 45%, before slightly dropping to 44%. Meanwhile, the support rate of her main opponent has decreased to 54%, significantly down from 71% in mid-July.

There are multiple factors worth noting behind this change. First, over 200 venture capitalists have publicly expressed their support for Harris taking over the White House. They believe that a strong and reliable system is crucial for the stability of Silicon Valley and other industries.

Secondly, the Harris camp seems to be actively engaging with the encryption industry. It is reported that representatives from its campaign team plan to attend a roundtable meeting next week to communicate with executives from the encryption sector. This move is interpreted as Harris potentially adjusting her stance on encryption, especially following a recent speech by her main competitor at the Bitcoin conference.

Among the venture capitalists supporting Harris, there are many heavyweight figures from the encryption industry. For example, a well-known fund management partner who has invested in at least 10 encryption companies, and the first female managing partner of a venture capital firm that has invested in 24 encryption companies, etc. The addition of these supporters undoubtedly gives Harris a lot of confidence.

It is worth mentioning that the former CEO of a certain encryption exchange has also publicly expressed support for Harris. He hopes to garner support for the Democratic Party from the digital currency industry and believes that Harris has released a new signal of openness. This former CEO stated that he, along with other organizations, has drafted a strategic document and has shared it with Harris's campaign team.

However, Harris's shift has also raised some questions. Some Republican senators pointed out that Harris's move might just be an attempt to catch up with her opponents' influence in the encryption field, rather than being genuine. They believe that the Republican Party has more influence among encryption enthusiasts and question whether Harris's change in position can truly impact the election.

Regardless, whether Harris will publicly clarify his encryption stance will become an important observation point for the subsequent trajectory of the U.S. election. This not only relates to the direction of the election but may also have a profound impact on the future encryption policy of the United States.
