They aim to make digital currency a significant issue, despite widespread skepticism and low public interest. This push comes after the FTX scandal, which damaged crypto&#8217;s reputation, but advocates believe that legislative changes can reignite interest and innovation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6212\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z2a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z2a.png 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z2a-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z2a-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coinbase, through its super PAC Fairshake, has emerged as a major force, backing candidates in dozens of races across party lines. The goal? To shift regulatory power from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), hoping to foster a more favorable environment for crypto. This bipartisan effort, however, has drawn criticism, as some see it as a way for the industry to sidestep strict regulations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6213\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z3-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z3-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z3-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/z3-6-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notably, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have made vague promises to support crypto innovation, signaling that the industry\u2019s financial influence is paying off.
