**Crypto Companies Dominate 2024 Election Contributions đŸ—łïž**

A recent report from Public Citizen reveals that nearly half of corporate political contributions in the 2024 election cycle are coming from cryptocurrency companies. Data from OpenSecrets shows that crypto giants like Ripple and Coinbase have contributed $119 million out of a total $248 million in corporate election spending.

- **Key Findings:**

- 48% of corporate election spending is from crypto firms.

- $107.9 million of the $203 million raised by the pro-crypto PAC, Fairshake, came from these companies.

- Major contributors include the Winklevoss twins and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

Public Citizen’s research director, Rick Claypool, calls this level of spending "unprecedented." Since 2010, only the fossil fuel industry has outspent crypto, with $162 million in contributions.
