For years, crypto executives have touted cryptocurrency’s supposed anti-authoritarian and human rights credentials. But where are they when their beloved president claims Alex Pretti’s lawful gun ownership justified his killing, or when ICE leaders tell subordinates to enter homes without warrants? #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter

The answer, of course, is that they never actually cared about these principles at all. In fact, many of these executives have long made it clear that authoritarianism isn’t just collateral damage in their pursuit of business-boosting deregulation, but a desirable outcome. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter

Amid all this, the crypto industry has amassed at least $315 million to spend in the midterms — more than double their recordbreaking 2024 spending that helped install Trump and members of Congress who either support his atrocities or are too craven to do anything about them. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter

The Fairshake PAC timed a press blitz about the nearly $200 million they’re brandishing towards members of Congress just ahead of a Senate Ag vote on crypto market structure. It passed, and amendments to address Trump’s crypto corruption or prohibit bailouts of crypto firms were shot down. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter

The crypto industry’s “educational nonprofit” has also launched an initiative to fund Congressional staff positions after participants go through weeks of “training” on “emerging technologies like crypto, AI, biotech, and defense tech”. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter

The SEC has dismissed with prejudice an enforcement action against the Winklevoss twins’ Gemini crypto exchange. This comes after the Winklevosses contributed $4.4 million to Trump, backed his sons’ ventures, and committed $21 million to elect pro-Trump, pro-crypto lawmakers. To date, the SEC has paused, dismissed, or otherwise ended crypto lawsuits or investigations against Aave, Binance, Coinbase, ConsenSys, Crypto​.com, Cumberland DRW, Dragonchain, Gemini (twice), Hex, Immutable, Kraken, Ondoe, OpenSea, PayPal, Ripple, Robinhood, Tron, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, and Zcash. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter

As ICE terrorizes communities, crypto executives who spent years posting about freedom have gone conspicuously silent. But behind the scenes, they’ve contributed at least $315 million — more than double their record 2024 spending — to elect more lawmakers to enable this administration. https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-100/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics #CitationNeededNewsletter
