Vote Out Anti-Crypto Candidates: Coinbase Pours $25 Million into Pro-Crypto Campaign
America's dominant crypto exchange, Coinbase, is significantly ramping up its efforts to influence the upcoming elections. As reported by Coindesk on June 3rd, 2025, Coinbase announced a substantial $25 million contribution to Fairshake, a pro-crypto super political action committee (PAC). This move aims to support candidates who champion sensible crypto regulation and vote out those who hold anti-crypto views. The donation, made in USDC, underscores Coinbase's commitment to shaping a favorable political landscape for the digital asset industry.
Fairshake, the crypto-focused super political action committee, is receiving this substantial injection of funds as it gears up for lobbying efforts ahead of the November elections. Coinbase initially pledged to give Fairshake $25 million in 2025 for the following year’s midterm elections (October 30, 2025). This latest donation confirms their dedication to fulfilling that pledge and actively participating in the political process.
Coinbase's $25 million investment in Fairshake (reported June 3, 2025 and June 4, 2025) highlights the increasing importance of political advocacy in the crypto space. By supporting pro-crypto candidates, Coinbase hopes to foster a more innovation-friendly regulatory environment and ensure the long-term growth and adoption of cryptocurrency.
