A recent survey of 191 bankers revealed a slight preference for Donald Trump's policies, particularly regarding cryptocurrency and taxation, with 58% believing a Trump administration would benefit the banking industry. However, 59% of respondents expected Vice President Kamala Harris to win the upcoming election. The survey conducted by American Banker showed that bankers are uncertain about the election, as both candidates have not clearly articulated their policies. Despite their support for Trump, most bankers predict Harris will take office in January. The importance of regulatory clarity around digital assets is emphasized, as neither candidate has detailed their plans for cryptocurrency regulation. In past cycles, Trump was perceived as a crypto candidate, but his stance has evolved. Harris, while supportive of technology, has not provided specific insights on her views toward cryptocurrency. This uncertainty reflects a broader trend within the banking sector as they prepare for potential regulatory changes under either candidate in the 2024 election.
