Fairshake, the crypto industry’s political action committee, and allied groups have nearly doubled their funding in the past few weeks.

They received around $75 million from Ripple Labs, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, and Coinbase Global Inc.

With a war chest of $160 million they aim to support U.S candidates who favor light-touch regulation of the industry.

Coinbase’s Chief Policy Officer:

“We’ve learned as an industry that you have to show up politically to be heard.

We’re very, very committed to see that though. We’re very committed to this cycle and beyond. ”

After Trump came out as strongly pro-crypto and Biden was under pressure to embrace the industry or risk losing vital voters, could this election be a turning point for crypto in the U.S?
