Recently, a professional named Khurram Dara, who previously served as a policy advisor at Coinbase, has garnered public attention. He is considering participating in the 2026 New York State Attorney General election and could become a potential competitor to the current Attorney General Letitia James.



In a recent interview, Dara revealed that although he has not made a final decision, if he decides to run, digital assets will become an important issue in his campaign agenda. As a graduate of Colombia Law School, Dara has already shown his follow for the cryptocurrency space on social media, including publicly supporting Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm.

Dara emphasized that his agenda will focus on completely ending legal disputes against cryptocurrencies. This stance contrasts sharply with the approach of the current Attorney General. Since taking office in 2019, the current Attorney General has taken legal action against multiple crypto companies, claiming it is to protect the interests of New York residents.

New York, as an important commercial center in the United States, is home to many well-known cryptocurrency companies, such as Gemini, Galaxy Digital, and Chainalysis. Therefore, the Attorney General plays a crucial role in handling regulations and enforcement related to digital assets.

Currently, the team of the incumbent Attorney General has not made any statements regarding whether they will seek re-election. Dara, as a 36-year-old lawyer, although lacking public office experience, may bring a new perspective and debate to this election with his professional background in cryptocurrency policy.

As the 2026 elections approach, New York State voters will face an important choice: to continue supporting the current law enforcement direction or to choose new leadership that may adopt a more open attitude towards digital assets. The outcome of this election will not only affect New York State's policy direction but could also have a profound impact on the cryptocurrency regulatory environment across the entire United States.
