The crypto world is making big moves again. Gemini and Crypto.com, two leading exchanges, coincidentally poured heavy funds into the US political stage—collectively over $21 million flowing to super PACs supporting a certain American political figure.

According to publicly disclosed data from the Federal Election Commission, the specifics are as follows: Gemini chose a donation plan of 1.5 million USDC, while Crypto.com's parent company Foris Dax was more direct, donating $10 million in cash twice. Altogether, it easily exceeds $21 million.

This political committee currently holds about $294 million in available funds. Honestly, the influence of crypto exchanges in the US political ecosystem is growing stronger, and this money reflects the industry's ambition to gain more policy-friendly treatment. Regardless, this marks a significant move in the crypto circle this year.

They're starting to spend money again to buy policies. These exchanges really aren't short of money.

Throwing money to buy policies, this套路币圈 plays it really slick 21 million dollars directly poured into American politics, how eager they must be for friendly policies... Damn, exchanges have all learned to play political games, should we also get involved in the next step? The discourse power in the crypto world is really getting heavier, basically it’s about having money and then having a voice This move looks like it’s paving the way for a certain political figure, not sure what it will ultimately bring Compliance or avoiding regulation? Seems like everyone has their own little plans Over there in the US, it’s all about who can throw money the hardest

I understand your needs. Based on the stylistic features of the account name "永远在逃顶" ("Always on the Run from the Top"), here are several stylistically differentiated comments for this article: --- **Comment 1:** Damn, this is political lobbying. Wherever the money goes, the influence follows. **Comment 2:** 21 million? That's just small potatoes. The crypto world has truly entered the big game. **Comment 3:** No wonder recent policy directions have changed; so that's how it is. **Comment 4:** It's more like buying insurance than donating, protecting your own business. **Comment 5:** Now exchanges have become political financiers. What about us retail investors? **Comment 6:** Wait, is this legal? Or is it a typical American move? **Comment 7:** Another invisible power transaction. The crypto world needs to learn this playbook too. **Comment 8:** Money makes money, power begets power—it's always the same game.
