美國大選：加密貨幣支出的成長

加密貨幣公司在 2024 年美國大選的政治舞台上花費了驚人的 1.19 億美元。這幾乎是這些選舉中所有企業捐款的一半，總計近 2.5 億美元。

Cryptocurrency corporations have spearheaded a massive campaign in the 2024 US elections, pouring a total of $119 million into the political landscape. This contribution marks a significant increase compared to the previous elections and highlights the growing influence of the crypto industry in politics.

加密貨幣公司在 2024 年美國大選中帶頭發起了一場大規模競選活動，總共在政治領域投入了 1.19 億美元。與先前的選舉相比，這項貢獻顯著增加，並凸顯了加密貨幣產業在政治中日益增長的影響力。

According to a report by Public Citizen, the crypto sector's contribution now accounts for nearly 15% of all corporate political spending. This spending began to ramp up after the 2010 Citizens United ruling, which permitted unlimited contributions from corporations. However, a staggering 92% of crypto corporations' contributions have been reported just this year.

根據 Public Citizen 的報告，加密貨幣產業的貢獻目前佔所有企業政治支出的近 15%。 2010 年公民聯合裁決允許企業無限捐款後，這筆支出開始增加。然而，今年加密貨幣公司的貢獻率高達 92%，令人震驚。

Out of the total corporate funds, nearly $114 million has been directed to Fairshake PAC, a super PAC dedicated to pro-crypto initiatives. This contribution surpasses any other single recipient of corporate funds in the present election cycle.

在公司資金總額中，近 1.14 億美元已投入 Fairshake PAC，這是一個致力於支持加密貨幣計劃的超級 PAC。這筆捐款超過了當前選舉週期中任何其他單一的公司資金接收者。

The crypto industry's massive spending is part of a strategic effort to shape the political narrative on digital assets and influence the candidates who will ultimately determine the regulations governing the industry.

加密產業的巨額支出是戰略努力的一部分，旨在塑造數位資產的政治敘事並影響最終決定該行業監管法規的候選人。

“The only reason crypto is a campaign issue this year is that crypto firms are spending staggering amounts to try to make themselves impossible to ignore,” said Public Citizen Research Director Rick Claypool.

公共公民研究總監 Rick Claypool 表示：“加密貨幣成為今年競選問題的唯一原因是，加密貨幣公司正在花費驚人的資金，試圖讓自己無法被忽視。”

This spending spree has been driven by the industry's attempt to secure favorable regulations and counter the nearly daily warnings about the dangers of crypto from officials like Senators Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown.

這種支出熱潮是由該行業試圖確保有利的監管並反擊參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）和謝羅德·布朗（Sherrod Brown）等官員幾乎每天對加密貨幣危險的警告所推動的。

The crypto-friendly candidates are more likely to win with this financial backing, which might alter the policies that govern the industry. Former President Donald Trump has expressed a preference for this narrative, promising that if he wins, the rules will be written by those who want to help the industry thrive.

對加密貨幣友好的候選人更有可能在這種財政支持下獲勝，這可能會改變管理該行業的政策。前總統唐納德·川普表達了對這種說法的偏好，並承諾如果他獲勝，規則將由那些希望幫助該行業蓬勃發展的人制定。

On the Democratic side, there are indications of a potential policy reset, particularly if Kamala Harris is chosen as the nominee. Her advisers have discussed policies that would allow the crypto industry to flourish, a shift that many in the crypto community have been seeking.

在民主黨方面，有跡象表明可能會調整政策，特別是如果卡馬拉·哈里斯被選為提名人的話。她的顧問討論了允許加密產業蓬勃發展的政策，這是加密社群許多人一直在尋求的轉變。

The cryptocurrency industry's spending will serve as a roadmap for other industries in upcoming elections. With follow-up actions from other industries, policies may be swiftly altered overnight as each industry wields its financial clout to advance its preferred political agenda.

加密貨幣產業的支出將成為其他產業在即將到來的選舉中的路線圖。隨著其他行業的後續行動，隨著每個行業利用其金融影響力來推進其首選的政治議程，政策可能會在一夜之間迅速改變。
