Crypto, AI, and gambling companies are rapidly increasing their political influence in the U.S.
Ahead of the 2026 elections, corporations have already spent US$517 million, surpassing everything spent in the 2024 elections.
The crypto sector stands out in particular with Fairshake, a Super PAC backed by Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz, which would still have about US$130 million to invest in campaigns.
The strategy is to support politicians from both parties who favor their interests, especially on issues such as crypto regulation and stablecoins.
Crypto is no longer only trying to influence markets; it is also investing millions to directly shape the rules that will define the future of the industry in the U.S.
