Crypto industry spends $189 million on US election contributions
The cryptocurrency industry has spent about $189 million so far on contributions to influence the 2026 US elections.
This spending is largely through PACs, with crypto-aligned groups expected to continue spending to elect pro-crypto politicians.
A new poll shows that a majority of Americans are concerned about the influence the crypto industry has on US lawmakers, following financial disclosures that US President Donald Trump profited by more than $1.4 billion from his crypto investments.
