Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital and venture capitalist, has stated that he and a group of cryptos advocates are working with US Vice President Kamala Harris to develop her digital asset campaign policy before the official election day in November.

The former White House communications director said at the TOKEN2049 annual cryptocurrency event on Thursday: "There is a group of cryptocurrency advocates,$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$advocates and others are working with her to keep the Democratic Party away from Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler."

Democratic Senator Warren and SEC Chairman Gensler are widely seen as enemies of the crypto industry, as they support regulation and crackdowns in the field.

Scaramucci stated that Harris has been listening to crypto supporters' views, and they are urging her to support industry-friendly policies. He added that the Vice President even scheduled some such meetings this week.

'I believe we are making progress, and I think it is moving in the right direction,' he said.

Scaramucci supports Harris in the 2024 election. He served as the former President Donald Trump's communications director in the White House in 2017, but only for 6 days, setting the record for the shortest term in the position. Since then, his relationship with Trump has been strained. Last year, he even referred to his former boss as a 'con man' in an interview.

In recent months, Trump has expressed strong support for the crypto industry. In July this year, he delivered a keynote speech at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, pledging to ensure that the federal government will never sell its held bitcoin and proposing a plan to make the USA the 'global capital of cryptos.'

The Trump family recently launched a new cryptocurrency platform called World Liberty Financial, which will be controlled by Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, but very few details have been provided.

Scaramucci said on Thursday, "Regardless of my feelings towards President Trump, I applaud his understanding of the importance of this industry to the United States."

He added that he and other insiders in the cryptocurrency industry hope to prevent the policies surrounding the industry from becoming partisan issues. "We hope the United States cryptocurrency has a bipartisan standard that is not influenced by politics and tribal conflicts."

Meanwhile, Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, who supported Trump in the election, believes that the next US president will have "tremendous power" to shape the crypto space, and this Republican candidate has made his stance clear on this issue.

"We haven't heard the same from Harris," he added. "Maybe she will change her attitude, but she hasn't really come out and said too much."
