U.S. crypto firms’ push for deregulation and political contributions raises ‘red flags’: Report

March 9, 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

The cryptocurrency industry in the United States has been making headlines recently for its heavy involvement in political contributions, particularly towards President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign in 2024. According to a report by the Center for Political Accountability (CPA), U.S. crypto firms contributed a staggering $144 million towards Trump’s campaign, raising concerns about the risks associated with unchecked political spending.

The report pointed out that the crypto companies’ aggressive push for deregulation, combined with opaque political contributions, has not only raised red flags among regulators but has also eroded investor confidence and public trust in the long-term viability of these companies. The report highlighted that the industry’s political spending during Trump’s reelection campaign was unprecedented, with major players like Coinbase and Ripple leading the way.

Coinbase’s political action committee (PAC) donated over $79 million towards Trump’s reelection, while Ripple contributed over $63.6 million. Additionally, Coinbase donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration committee, and Ripple donated $5 million in digital assets. The founders of Gemini, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, donated $1 million worth of Bitcoin to Trump, exceeding the legal limit and receiving refunds of over $300,000.

Despite their heavy political spending, all three exchanges have faced scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent years. Coinbase was charged for operating as an unregistered securities exchange, Ripple was embroiled in a legal battle with the SEC over the classification of XRP, and Gemini faced charges for offering unregistered securities through its Earn program.

However, things seem to be turning around for these crypto firms since Trump’s inauguration. The SEC has dropped its investigation into Gemini, and Coinbase’s case was dismissed. Trump also recently signed an executive order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, signaling a shift in favor of the cryptocurrency industry.

While political contributions can help crypto firms gain political clout, the CPA report warned that such practices could backfire, jeopardizing the industry as a whole. The report highlighted the risks of instability, regulatory backlash, and public distrust that come with unchecked political spending. It also raised concerns about conflicts of interest within the Trump administration, particularly regarding the appointment of a ‘crypto czar’ with ties to the industry.

In conclusion, the report emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in the cryptocurrency industry to ensure its legitimacy in the financial world. Without greater oversight, the future of crypto remains uncertain. As the industry continues to navigate the intersection of politics and finance, it must prioritize ethical practices and compliance to maintain trust and credibility.
