Crypto industry stakeholders and associated companies spent approximately $7 million on U.S. federal lobbying in the fourth quarter of 2022. Disclosure data shows that collective industry spending in the fourth quarter of 2022 was just under $7 million. Although this is a slight decrease relative to the second quarter ($7.4 million) and the third quarter ($7.2 million), the findings reflect a very consistent level of federal lobbying spending even during one of the worst crypto bear markets in years.
