Big Crypto Wants Your Vote, Berkeley Scholar Warns
A Berkeley Law lecturer argues big crypto companies risk claiming political influence that should belong to the technology itself, as crypto's role in elections grows.
Wong's piece raises a question that extends beyond any single election: when an industry is built on removing middlemen, who gets to speak for it once middlemen exist. Should political representation follow company size, user numbers, or something else entirely. The answer could shape how regulators, voters, and builders understand crypto's values for years. It is a question with no clean answer, and one that will likely resurface every time a new election cycle puts crypto policy on the ballot.
