Crypto Lobby’s $160M Senate Gamble

  • Crypto billionaires have amassed a $160 million war chest to back US candidates favoring minimal regulation, influencing Senate races.
  • Senators Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester are key targets due to their crypto skepticism, making them vulnerable in pro-Trump states.
  • The crypto industry’s significant political funding reflects its evolved clout despite recent scandals, focusing on reducing SEC oversight.

Crypto billionaires and their allies have accumulated a $160 million war chest to support US candidates favoring minimal regulation of the cryptocurrency industry. This substantial sum positions the crypto sector as a major force in federal campaign finance. The funds could significantly impact the Senate elections, potentially shifting control to Republicans.

Democratic Senators Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Jon Tester of Montana are key targets. Both are crypto skeptics with influential roles in the Senate, and their states were won by Donald Trump in the last election, making them vulnerable. The political action committee Fairshake, along with groups backed by significant contributions from Ripple Labs, Andreessen Horowitz, and Coinbase Global Inc., has nearly doubled its funding recently. Notably, the Winklevoss twins contributed $4.9 million earlier this year.

Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong himself has called on the voters to blacklist such lawmakers. The Capitol Hill meetings formulated with Armstrong involved a meeting with different senators, inclusive of Tester. In his turn, Faryar Shirzad, the chief policy officer of Coinbase, highlighted the readiness of the industry to cater to its political application.

Cryptocurrency players try to decrease their regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has sued some significant market participants. The SEC led by Gary Gensler has claimed that the industry bears high risks of fraud and that exchanges are inadequate in handling customers’ assets. From the following analysis, it would be clear that Coinbase will be greatly affected in case the regulator’s position triumphs over this issue after being accused of violating securities laws by the SEC.

I was able to confirm that Fairshake is tracking both Brown and Tester and is involved in the race, although the money has not been spent yet, it has shown interest in their reelection races. When it comes to legislation, Brown has been under scrutiny with the entire industry looking to the Blockchain Association headed by Kristin Smith. The House, which is under the Republicans’ control, passed a regulatory package, but the Senate under the Democratic majority failed to respond.

However, observable evidence of RO’s impact includes Fairshake’s heavy spending in the California Senate primary to take on progressive Representative Katie Porter. The political influence of the crypto sector has shifted significantly since the year 2022, and the highs and lows such as the fall of global exchange FTX and its CEO SBF, also known as Sam Bankman Fried.

Still, Brown and Tester are under pressure. Both have complained about the attention they have received, although their Republican Party rivals, Bernie Moreno and Tim Sheehy, are great supporters of cryptocurrency. Moreno and Sheehy gave the incumbent senators such a label of ‘hostile to the crypto industry’.
