Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal has suggested that the exchange might lean toward supporting Vice President Kamala Harris as the crypto regulation debate intensifies.

Coinbase's Paul Grewal Hints at Political Support

Paul Grewal, chief liquidity officer of the exchange, has dropped hints about the company's probable stance toward the two politicians during an appearance on Bloomberg TV.

Grewal did not specify which Democratic National Committee candidate the firm would support during the interview. Nonetheless, when discussing her, he adopted a more reserved tone. This is so even though she is a part of the administration that is notoriously against cryptocurrency at the moment.

According to Grewal, the Trump camp has been more vocal about its support for cryptocurrency, while Harris's camp is just now beginning to show signs of enthusiasm.

They have even started talking about how a Harris government may handle cryptocurrency and other digital assets differently. The Coinbase CLO was also upbeat on Harris's campaign's transparency.

Coinbase CLO Discusses Alternative Crypto Regulations

Given the present administration's emphasis on enforcement-based regulation, he said, there is interest in investigating other approaches for the cryptocurrency industry.

While nothing is clear, the comments made by the Coinbase executive give the impression that his company may support the VP, according to Coingape.

Coinbase Yet to Commit Financial Support to Candidates

It should be noted that Coinbase and other prominent figures in the cryptocurrency business have not yet contributed to Trump's campaign. But they haven't done the same for the Democratic National Committee candidate.

The determination to influence Washington, D, politics in favor of Web3 is intensifying because to the emergence of pro-Crypto Super PACs such as Fairshake.

Fairshake’s Influence Could Shift Election Dynamics

Because Coinbase is now officially one of Fairshake's key backers, its opinion might have a lot of sway in the next election. Its actions and lobbying efforts might pay off for the cryptocurrency exchange and, by extension, the market as a whole.

Some cryptocurrency enthusiasts have even gone as far as to say that Coinbase is speaking for millions of Americans. Those organizations desire constant access to digital assets.

Demand for Crypto Regulatory Clarity Grows

All the US exchange and other crypto industry heavyweights really want is a government that puts crypto regulatory clarity legislation at the top of its priority list. More importantly, they long for a government that will legitimize the region's crypto industry.

Crushing cryptocurrency has been the primary focus of the present government's policies. Top NFT marketplace OpenSea was recently served with a Wells Notice by the US SEC.
