Crypto spent $170M influencing elections. AI spent $72M . Guess who came to play with the bigger wallet?
Three crypto-focused political action committees reportedly spent around $170 million during this election cycle, compared with approximately $72 million from AI-focused PACs.
But money doesn’t guarantee political victories.
Some major bets didn’t pay off:
●Darline Graham: Lost.
●Mike Rogers: Lost.
●Carlos: Lost.
Crypto is spending heavily to shape its political future, but campaign money doesn’t automatically translate into votes or influence.
Crypto brought $170M to the political battlefield. Some candidates still couldn’t convert it into a W.
The question: Is crypto buying political influence, or just discovering that elections are harder than trading?
