Stand With Crypto drops ‘supports crypto’ tag from Harris after backlash
A Coinbase-backed lobby group initially graded Kamala Harris as “supports crypto” but dropped the characterization after wide criticism.
Coinbase’s lobbying group, Stand With Crypto, has retracted its labeling of Kamala Harris as “supports crypto” on its website and says it has now changed how it scores politicians following strong backlash.
The group, which publishes its rankings of United States politicians on their support of crypto based on public comments, gave the Democrat’s presidential nominee its second-highest scoring grade on Sept. 23 — a “B” showing that Harris “supports crypto.”
Stand With Crypto explained on X that Harris “recently made a Somewhat Supportive statement” as the reason for the score.
