Corporations have spent $248,000,000 on the 2024 election so far. Nearly half of that spending — $119,000,000 — was from crypto companies. Public Citizen researcher Rick Claypool spoke with NPR's Leila Fadel about crypto spending, Citizens United, and what spending like this means for our democracy. https://lnkd.in/gpuvXKPM

The recent passage of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act by the House of Representatives marks a significant milestone for the crypto industry. This strong bipartisan support could be the beginning of a transformative era in digital asset regulation. For years, the crypto sector has pushed for clear and consistent regulatory guidelines. This vote, supported by 71 Democrats and 208 Republicans, brings us closer to achieving that goal. As we approach the November elections, the future of crypto regulation hangs in the balance. Will the current momentum sustain itself post-election?

With election day just around the corner, I was struck by the Paradigm poll findings on how digital assets like crypto are shaping voter priorities. A surprising 5% of voters identify as single-issue crypto voters—a potentially pivotal group in a close race. This points to the growing influence of digital finance on policy discussions. As crypto ownership rises, this conversation will only deepen.

Excelent post by Charlie Bilello on X. “The investor superpower is being good at suffering!” Moving ahead to the difficult “forecasting game”. US elections: who will win? Betting houses say Trump; Polls say Harris. In both situations the difference is tight enough to say that will be a too close to call run or near to a 50/50 outcome. Trump has a very friendly approach to crypto. Apart from his real intentions to implement crypto friendly policies and let Gensler go, is fair to say that if Trump wins crypto can jump 50% til the end of the year. As we move to elections day, with equities at ATH, while Bitcoin and other cryptos are struggling, would not be plausible to see a 25% jump (50%x50%) into the election? Let’s see how it plays out https://lnkd.in/dcAHP4nN https://lnkd.in/dxMeirRg

Cryptocurrency in the 2024 election? Not a big deal for most. Yet, crypto is deeply involved in politics now. But voters care more about jobs, healthcare, and security. 👉 $119 million from crypto corporations enters federal elections. Why? Because Trump and Harris have noticed its clout. Trump flips his stance, goes full crypto-friendly, and even starts his own crypto venture. Harris, subtler but still making moves, courts crypto too. It's all about money and votes. Trump's promises—making the U.S. a crypto capital—with a wink to the libertarian crowd. This isn’t just about money. It’s about power and influence. ------------------------------- ➕ Follow for more ♻ Share with your networ

Bloomberg newsletter: Crypto might not be a top policy priority for both US presidential candidates, yet it seems to be an asset class prime to gain regardless of the outcome of the election. Top venture capital investors including Pantera Capital, Dragonfly, Framework Ventures and SkyBridge Capital expect cryptocurrencies to get a boost on the back of potentially clearer regulations, regardless of who wins in November. The US Securities and Exchange Commission under Chair Gary Gensler has viewed most tokens as unregistered securities and has acted against issuers and exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, Ripple and Consensys. Those lawsuits and concerns about further US regulatory crackdowns have been driving projects and investment away from the world’s biggest digital-asset market. That could potentially be changing, thanks to shifting political winds — fueled by tens of millions of dollars in political-action committee spending. Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and her Republican opponent Donald Trump have both come out to express support for crypto, albeit to differing degrees. https://lnkd.in/gYF6mHfZ

Daily News Trump and Harris Face Off in Debate as Future Crypto Policies Remain Unclear Crypto policy is unlikely to take center stage as Donald Trump and Kamala Harris square off in their first presidential debate Tuesday night, despite growing calls for clarity on the candidates’ stances. A recent Benzinga poll found only 6% of respondents were most interested in hearing the candidates discuss digital assets, with the economy, jobs and immigration ranking as top priorities. However, the crypto industry is pushing for more attention, with advocacy group Chamber of Progress urging debate moderators to give voters insight into where Trump and Harris stand on crypto before November’s election.
