A new pro-Kamala Harris digital asset advocacy group known as Crypto4Harris is slated to host its first town hall featuring billionaire Mark Cuban and Rep. Wiley Nickel next Wednesday, August 14, the crypto political collective announced Tuesday.
According to a recent X post from Crypto4Harris, the upcoming town hall will include “elected officials, policy leaders, and industry heavyweights” from the blockchain sector who are expected to discuss how eager individuals may want to “support the campaign.”
Crypto is building a movement to support Kamala Harris. A group of industry leaders, policy experts, and everyday crypto-enthusiasts are organizing to back Harris while pushing for a nuanced policy stance that positions America as a leader in digital assets.

While not much is known about its founding, Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that organizers include Crypto Council for Innovation CEO Sheila Warren and Snickerdoodle Labs founder and CEO Jonathan Padilla, among others.
“I’m looking forward to speaking at the Crypto4Harris virtual town hall next week,” Congressman Wiley Nickel (D-NC) wrote in an X post. “As Democrats and @KamalaHarris supporters, we want to encourage innovation and protect consumers. Allowing crypto to become a political football is only going to set the US further behind.”
News of Crypto4Harris’ founding and subsequent town hall came as both Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. teased the launch of a “big announcement” seemingly related to decentralized finance.
