**Crypto Wallet Exodus Donates $1.3M to Stand With Crypto Alliance**

Crypto wallet provider Exodus has made a significant move by donating $1.3 million to the Stand With Crypto Alliance. This donation aims to boost political support for the crypto industry among American voters.

- **Exodus' Contribution**: Announced on Sept. 24, the donation supports the Alliance's mission to educate and mobilize the 52 million American crypto owners ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election.

- **Stand With Crypto Alliance**: Formed by Coinbase in May 2023, the Alliance has raised $180 million from 1.49 million crypto advocates. However, the Federal Election Commission reported only $13,690 had directly reached the PAC by June 30.

- **Political Influence**: The Alliance is pushing for crypto-friendly regulations like the "Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act" (FIT21), supported by Republicans. They also grade over 1,000 politicians on their crypto stance.

- **Election Impact**: Crypto voters could play a crucial role in the tight race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. Harris leads slightly with 50% to Trump's 48%, according to Polymarket.

- **Candidate Positions**: Trump has shown strong support for crypto, even buying burgers with Bitcoin. Harris recently expressed support for innovation and clear digital asset regulations.

Crypto voters are emerging as a powerful group, and both candidates are taking note.
