Exodus, a prominent crypto wallet provider, has made a major move to bolster political advocacy for the digital asset industry.
On September 24, the company contributed $1.3 million to the Stand With Crypto PAC, a group focused on rallying support among U.S. crypto voters ahead of the 2024 elections.
The Stand With Crypto Alliance, formed earlier this year by Coinbase, aims to empower the estimated 52 million crypto holders in the U.S. by raising political awareness and pushing for regulatory reforms.
One of its key priorities is promoting the passage of legislation like the bipartisan “Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act” (FIT21). Despite reports claiming $180 million in donations, official records show the PAC received just over $13,000 by mid-2023.
The alliance also ranks politicians based on their stance toward crypto, recently updating its scorecard to demand clearer positions from candidates. As the 2024 election nears, crypto voters are being recognized as a potential swing group. Political strategists have noted their growing influence, urging candidates from both parties to pay attention.
As it stands, the presidential race is tightly contested, with Kamala Harris holding a slight lead over Donald Trump, according to prediction markets. Trump has voiced his support for the crypto sector, even using Bitcoin in public, while Harris has hinted at backing innovation and clearer regulations for digital assets.
