透過這項最新捐款，Fairshake 及其附屬機構在本次選舉週期籌集了總計 1.6 億美元的資金，使其成為最大的超級政治行動委員會之一。

Crypto exchange Coinbase announced an additional $25 million donation to Fairshake Super Political Action Committee (PAC) in a bid to elect pro-crypto candidates and protect crypto users’ rights.

加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 宣布向 Fairshake 超級政治行動委員會 (PAC) 追加捐贈 2500 萬美元，以選舉支持加密貨幣的候選人並保護加密貨幣用戶的權利。

With this latest contribution, Fairshake and its affiliates have raised a total of $160 million this election cycle, making it one of the largest Super PACs. The donation reflects Coinbase’s strategy to expedite regulatory clarity through legislative and judicial means.

透過這項最新捐款，Fairshake 及其附屬機構在本次選舉週期籌集了總計 1.6 億美元的資金，使其成為最大的超級政治行動委員會之一。此次捐贈反映了 Coinbase 透過立法和司法手段來加快監管透明度的策略。

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the importance of electing pro-crypto candidates to overcome legislative gridlock and ensure the industry’s growth.

Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 強調了選舉支持加密貨幣的候選人對於克服立法僵局並確保行業成長的重要性。

“For a bill to become law in the US, it must pass the House, Senate, and be signed into law by the President. And in our divided government, the default is that nothing will happen unless the cost of inaction is greater than doing the right thing. This leads us to an important conclusion: The best way to get regulatory clarity in democratic countries is to elect pro-crypto candidates on both sides of the aisle and to vote anti-crypto candidates out of office,” Armstrong said.

「法案要在美國成為法律，必須通過眾議院、參議院，並由總統簽署成為法律。在我們分裂的政府中，預設情況是，除非不作為的成本大於做正確的事情的成本，否則什麼都不會發生。這使我們得出一個重要的結論：在民主國家獲得監管清晰度的最佳方法是在兩黨中選出支持加密貨幣的候選人，並投票讓反對加密貨幣的候選人下台。

Coinbase, Ripple, and venture capital firm a16z are among the crypto industry donors to Fairshake. Other donors include Gemini’s Winklevoss twins, Jump Crypto, and Union Square Ventures.

A report by Public Citizen found that digital asset-affiliated Super PACs, including Fairshake, raised the third-highest amount of all super PACs before the 2024 election.

Public Citizen 的一份報告發現，包括 Fairshake 在內的數位資產附屬超級 PAC 在 2024 年大選之前籌集的資金在所有超級 PAC 中排名第三。

In addition to contributing to Fairshake, Coinbase launched its nonprofit, Stand With Crypto, last August to advance pro-crypto legislation. Coinbase reported that, at the time of writing, StandWithCrypto.org boasts over 900,000 advocates nationwide.

除了為 Fairshake 做出貢獻外，Coinbase 還於去年 8 月推出了非營利組織 Stand With Crypto，以推進支持加密貨幣的立法。 Coinbase 報導稱，截至撰寫本文時，StandWithCrypto.org 在全國擁有超過 90 萬名擁護者。

Crypto firms and key industry figures emphasize supporting pro-crypto candidates in the November elections. This move is crucial, given the Biden administration’s stringent approach toward the crypto industry.

加密貨幣公司和主要行業人士強調在 11 月的選舉中支持加密貨幣的候選人。鑑於拜登政府對加密產業的嚴格態度，此舉至關重要。

Recently, Biden vetoed H.J. Res.109, a bill that would have overturned the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB 121).

最近，拜登否決了 HJ Res.109，該法案將推翻 SEC 第 121 號員工會計公告 (SAB 121)。

“My Administration will not support measures that jeopardize the well-being of consumers and investors. Appropriate guardrails that protect consumers and investors are necessary to harness the potential benefits and opportunities of crypto-asset innovation,” Biden said on May 31.

「我的政府不會支持損害消費者和投資者福祉的措施。為了利用加密資產創新的潛在好處和機會，有必要採取適當的措施來保護消費者和投資者。

SAB 121 requires financial institutions to list customers’ digital assets on their balance sheets. Critics argue this mandate creates substantial operational and financial burdens for firms handling cryptocurrencies and exposes customers’ assets to risks in bankruptcy situations.

SAB 121 要求金融機構在其資產負債表上列出客戶的數位資產。批評者認為，這項授權給處理加密貨幣的公司帶來了巨大的營運和財務負擔，並使客戶的資產在破產情況下面臨風險。
