Agree

Yes

Josh Shapiro, as Governor of Pennsylvania and a mainstream Democrat, has generally supported regulatory oversight in emerging financial sectors to protect consumers and prevent illicit activity. While he has not made cryptocurrencies a central issue, his record on consumer protection and support for regulatory frameworks (such as his work as Pennsylvania Attorney General) suggests he would favor stricter regulations on cryptocurrencies, though not necessarily the most aggressive forms.

Agree

Yes, the government should screen cryptocurrencies before circulation to ensure legitimate value and exchange rates

Shapiro would likely support government screening or vetting of cryptocurrencies to ensure legitimacy and consumer protection, consistent with his broader regulatory approach. However, he may not advocate for the government to set exchange rates, so his support would be moderate rather than strong.

Disagree

No, and underprivileged citizens deserve the same financial opportunities and services that traditional banks offer the wealthy

Shapiro supports expanding financial opportunities for underprivileged citizens, but he would likely see regulation as a way to protect these groups from predatory practices in the crypto space. He would not oppose regulation on the grounds of financial inclusion alone, but might support targeted reforms to ensure access.

Disagree

No

Shapiro’s background as Attorney General and his advocacy for consumer protections make it unlikely he would oppose stricter regulations on cryptocurrencies. He has historically favored government intervention to prevent fraud and abuse, which would conflict with a laissez-faire approach to crypto.

Disagree

No, and citizens should be allowed to protect their savings from reckless fiscal policies or subjugation

Shapiro has not advocated for the use of cryptocurrencies as a hedge against government fiscal policy or as a tool for individual sovereignty against the state. His record suggests he would prioritize regulatory oversight over arguments for financial self-protection from government policy.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and ban the use of crytocurrencies

While Shapiro would likely support increased regulation, there is no evidence he would support an outright ban on cryptocurrencies. Such a position would be considered extreme and out of step with mainstream Democratic policy, which generally seeks to regulate rather than prohibit crypto.
