Cryptocurrency firms invest $78 million in political action committee Fairshake to channel support for cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrency companies have significantly increased their donations to US politicians. Companies such as Coinbase, Circle, and a16z have invested $78 million in Fairshake, a federal super PAC that can receive unlimited funds from corporations and individuals for elections, with the goal of guiding "cryptocurrency-friendly leadership." Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said, "We will do everything we can to depoliticize cryptocurrency." "Our lobbying, grassroots work, and now Fairshake will create space for the public to debate its benefits, rather than our industry being used as a political football by those who do not understand the social benefits of this technology."

  • Coinbase Chief Legal Officer: US SEC blocks Coinbase’s request to disclose Gary Gensler’s communication documents

    Paul Grewal.eth, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, wrote on the X platform that the issues of Chevron and Binance's secondary sales have been clarified, but in Coinbase's lawsuit, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has prevented Coinbase from requesting the disclosure of Gary Gensler's communication documents. In March 2021, Gary Gensler told the U.S. Congress that the SEC lacked regulatory authority over digital asset exchanges, confirming the long-held belief among market participants that digital asset trading on these exchanges is not within the jurisdiction of securities law. Coinbase has requested that Gary Gensler provide documents related to these communications because they are related to how the SEC's enforcement actions violate the due process requirements of the Constitution, but the SEC and Gary Gensler are trying to prevent the disclosure of these documents.
