Donald Trump

Elon Musk

<p>As Americans get ready to elect their next government representatives, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/exchange/about-coinbase-exchange/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coinbase Global Inc</a>. (NASDAQ: COIN) is stepping up its support for pro-crypto leaders. Today, Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong announced a new $25 million investment in the Fairshake PAC, bringing the group’s total fundraising to over $200 million in support of crypto-friendly candidates.</p>   
<p>With the stakes higher than ever, Coinbase is signaling that it won’t just sit back as <a href="https://coinpedia.org/cryptocurrency-regulation/cryptocurrency-regulation-in-the-usa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto regulation</a> unfolds. How will the political push change the scenario? More on this below!</p>

<p>Armstrong noted that this funding is focused on increasing pro-crypto representation in the 2026 midterm elections. Coinbase also reaffirmed its commitment to the Stand With Crypto initiative, a grassroots advocacy effort aimed at empowering crypto supporters across the U.S. With over 1.8 million advocates already signed up, Coinbase plans to help grow that number to 4 million by 2026.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-supporting-crypto-friendly-campaigns">Supporting Crypto-Friendly Campaigns </h2>   
<p>Coinbase has contributed nearly $100 million to the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/crypto-pacs-180m-push-can-it-change-the-2024-us-election-landscape/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fairshake PAC</a>, which recently donated to Donald Trump’s campaign. Trump has voiced support for making the U.S. a leader in crypto adoption, promising positive regulations if re-elected. In one proposal, he suggested that he would remove taxes on Bitcoin holdings if he becomes President.</p>   
<p>As of now, Trump leads Kamala Harris by more than 20 points on the Polymarket prediction platform, reflecting strong support within the pro-crypto community.</p>

<p>Coinbase’s political donations may draw legal scrutiny, especially following recent actions against Elon Musk. Musk faces a lawsuit in Philadelphia after allegedly offering $1 million to voters through his America PAC. Similar legal challenges could potentially arise for Coinbase’s campaign contributions, adding another layer of complexity to its pro-crypto advocacy.</p>   
<p>With its ongoing support of pro-crypto leaders, Coinbase is placing itself at the center of the regulatory debate, working to ensure that crypto voices are represented in Washington and beyond.</p>
