🏛️🚨 CRYPTO SPENT ~$8M LOBBYING AROUND THE CLARITY ACT.
The crypto industry spent more than $13M on federal lobbying in H1 2026, with roughly $8M tied to the push for crypto market-structure legislation.
💰 Market-structure push → ~$8M
🏢 Outside lobbying firms → ~$2.4M
👥 Trade association lobbyists → ~$2.1M
🪙 Coinbase → ~$2.2M
🐙 Kraken → ~$1M
Despite the lobbying push, the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate.
👻 Ghost's Take
$8M spent. Hundreds of meetings. Still no deal.
It shows just how difficult the fight over U.S. crypto market structure remains.
