Cryptocurrency Leads as Top Donor in 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, Sparking Partisan Debates – cover image

The cryptocurrency sector made historic waves in the 2024 U.S. presidential election by becoming the largest corporate donor with an impressive $238 million contribution. This outpaces the combined donations from major lobbies such as oil, gas, and pharmaceuticals, underlining how significantly crypto has integrated into political finance.

By May 2025, The Economist noted that cryptocurrency's alignment with former President Donald Trump effectively turned it into a partisan cause. This development threatens to undermine bipartisan efforts to regulate stablecoins, a vital component within the crypto ecosystem.

Concerns have grown among U.S. Senators regarding potential conflicts of interest and influence-peddling by Trump with various cryptocurrency companies. These political entanglements highlight the growing tension between crypto innovation and regulatory oversight.
