The Digital Freedom Fund PAC focuses on securing wins in the House and Senate for crypto champions. It also fights for initiatives like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s “Crypto Sprint.”
Gemini’s co-founders plan to support a Bitcoin & Crypto Bill of Rights, ensuring freedom for self-custody and peer-to-peer transactions. They previously donated $1 million each to Trump’s campaign in June 2024 and backed Senator Cynthia Lummis.
Crypto-backed super PACs, such as Fairshake, have seen substantial contributions. With over $141 million, Fairshake is heavily backed by the crypto community, including $25 million from Coinbase and $4.9 million from the Winklevoss twins.
These moves highlight the crypto industry’s growing influence in shaping U.S. policy, aiming to foster an environment where innovation thrives without excessive regulation.
