just saw that Fairshake is dropping $5M on Barry Moore's Senate campaign with Trump ads and everything. wild how much crypto money is flowing into politics these days. this guy's been pretty vocal about crypto being the future, so i guess they're betting on him.

fairly interesting timing too - Moore was already in the House working on some digital asset stuff, and now he's getting major backing for Senate. the whole thing feels like crypto is really trying to build its political wing. Fairshake alone spent like $130M in 2024 supporting pro-crypto candidates, and apparently they've got almost $200M sitting around for these midterms.

though ngl, seeing all these PACs and massive donations makes you wonder how much of this is actually about policy vs just throwing money at whoever says crypto is good. either way, it's pretty clear the industry isn't messing around when it comes to elections anymore.
