Coinbase Donates $25 Million to Fairshake Super PAC, Boosting Crypto-Friendly Candidates in Primaries

Coinbase 向 Fairshake Super PAC 捐赠 2500 万美元，为初选中加密货币友好的候选人提供支持

Top U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has donated a further $25 million to Fairshake’s super PAC, according to a blog post on Monday.

根据周一的一篇博客文章，美国顶级加密货币交易所 Coinbase 已向 Fairshake 的超级 PAC 进一步捐赠了 2500 万美元。

The lobbying money, which will bolster the campaigns of crypto-friendly congressional candidates in upcoming state primaries, follows in the footsteps of crypto payments company Ripple and venture capital firm a16z, which each donated $25 million last week to Fairshake.

这些游说资金将追随加密支付公司 Ripple 和风险投资公司 a16z 的脚步，在即将到来的州初选中支持对加密货币友好的国会候选人的竞选活动，这两家公司上周分别向 Fairshake 捐赠了 2500 万美元。

This takes the super PAC's total balance to $161 million for this year’s federal elections, according to CoinDesk. Other Fairshake donors include the Winklevoss twins, Jump Crypto, and Union Square Ventures. A recent report from the consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen found that digital-asset-affiliated super PACs, including Fairshake, have raised the third-highest dollar amount of all super PACs ahead of the 2024 election.

据 CoinDesk 称，这使得超级政治行动委员会今年联邦选举的总余额达到 1.61 亿美元。 Fairshake 的其他捐助者包括 Winklevoss twins、Jump Crypto 和 Union Square Ventures。消费者权益保护组织 Public Citizen 最近的一份报告发现，在 2024 年大选之前，包括 Fairshake 在内的数字资产附属超级 PAC 筹集的资金金额在所有超级 PAC 中排名第三。

In the congressional races, the most recent national poll suggests the fight remains razor-thin, with Democrats leading by just 0.1%.

在国会竞选中，最新的全国民意调查显示，战斗仍然十分激烈，民主党仅领先 0.1%。

Coinbase also launched its own Stand With Crypto initiative last year.

Coinbase 去年还推出了自己的“支持加密货币”计划。

Fairshake has spent over $11.3 million of its war chest, with over $10.7 million used to campaign against a single Democratic candidate, Rep. Kate Porter, according to the latest Federal Election Committee data analyzed by OpenSecrets. Porter lost in the California primary in March to fill the seat once held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

根据 OpenSecrets 分析的最新联邦选举委员会数据，Fairshake 已经花费了超过 1,130 万美元的战争资金，其中超过 1,070 万美元用于竞选民主党候选人众议员凯特·波特 (Kate Porter)。波特在三月份的加州初选中落败，填补了已故参议员黛安·范斯坦 (Dianne Feinstein) 曾经占据的席位。

The two active candidates to receive the most Fairshake funding so far are Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-N.D.) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), each with over $122,000 in donations. Both representatives were crucial in the drafting and negotiation of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act, or FIT21.

迄今为止，获得 Fairshake 资金最多的两位活跃候选人是众议员达斯蒂·约翰逊 (Dusty Johnson) (RN.D.) 和众议员乔什·戈特海默 (Josh Gottheimer) (DN.J.)，两人的捐款均超过 122,000 美元。两位代表在《21 世纪金融创新和技术法案》（FIT21）的起草和谈判中发挥了至关重要的作用。

In addition to contributing to Fairshake, Coinbase last August launched its own independent nonprofit, Stand With Crypto, for advancing pro-crypto legislation. The group has attracted almost 1 million members who are responsible so far for over 200,000 emails and calls to members of Congress, according to the group's chief strategist, Nick Carr.

除了为 Fairshake 做出贡献外，Coinbase 去年 8 月还推出了自己的独立非营利组织 Stand With Crypto，以推进支持加密货币的立法。该组织首席策略师尼克·卡尔 (Nick Carr) 表示，该组织已吸引了近 100 万成员，迄今为止，这些成员负责向国会议员发送超过 20 万封电子邮件和电话。

In a newsletter to constituents, Rep. Anna A. Eshoo (D-Calif.), noted that she voted in favor of FIT21 after 103 constituents contacted her office on the issue, according to sources close to the matter.

据知情人士透露，加州民主党众议员安娜·A·埃舒 (Anna A. Eshoo) 在给选民的通讯中指出，在 103 名选民就 FIT21 问题联系她的办公室后，她投票支持了 FIT21。

But Coinbase’s latest donation coincides with a politically tricky week for crypto. On Friday, President Joe Biden vetoed SAB 121, a bill that would have overturned the Securities and Exchange Commission's policy that prevents traditional financial companies from holding on to their customers’ crypto on their behalf. "My administration will not support measures that jeopardize the well-being of consumers and investors," Biden wrote in a statement accompanying his veto.

但 Coinbase 的最新捐款恰逢加密货币领域政治上棘手的一周。周五，总统乔·拜登否决了 SAB 121，该法案将推翻美国证券交易委员会阻止传统金融公司代表其持有客户加密货币的政策。 “我的政府不会支持危害消费者和投资者福祉的措施，”拜登在否决权随附的声明中写道。

Meanwhile, the day before Biden’s veto, former President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges for falsifying business records. Just over half of voters agree with the charges, according to an Ipsos poll.

与此同时，在拜登否决的前一天，前总统唐纳德·特朗普因伪造商业记录而被判犯有 34 项重罪。益普索 (Ipsos) 民意调查显示，超过一半的选民同意这些指控。

The result is a blow for digital asset lobbyists, as in recent months Trump has been working on crafting his image as the pro-crypto candidate, with a slew of stunts suggesting he would embrace digital asset regulation in office. Addressing the Libertarian Party convention last month, Trump touted this recent conversion to crypto, telling the crowd he would “keep Elizabeth Warren and her goons away from your Bitcoin.” Soon after, his presidential campaign said it would begin accepting donations via any crypto asset accepted through Coinbase.

其结果对数字资产游说者来说是一个打击，因为近几个月来，特朗普一直在努力塑造自己作为支持加密货币的候选人的形象，并采取一系列举措表明他将在任内接受数字资产监管。特朗普在上个月的自由党大会上发表讲话时，吹捧了最近对加密货币的转变，并告诉人群他将“让伊丽莎白·沃伦和她的暴徒远离你的比特币”。不久之后，他的总统竞选团队表示将开始通过 Coinbase 接受的任何加密资产接受捐款。
