A report from the Center for Political Accountability (CPA) warns that such political spending, especially from crypto firms, could have significant risks for both the industry and its investors.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, companies like Coinbase and Ripple were among the top contributors, with Coinbase\u2019s political action committee donating nearly $80 million, while Ripple followed with more than $63 million.<\/p>\n<p>However, this surge in political contributions has raised alarms about the lack of transparency surrounding these donations and their potential to lead to increased regulatory scrutiny. Moreover, concerns about the integrity of crypto firms have deepened as they are linked to legal battles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/white-house-dismisses-gold-for-bitcoin-rumors-eyes-budget-neutral-expansion\/\" title=\"White House Dismisses Gold-for-Bitcoin Rumors, Eyes Budget-Neutral Expansion\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-gold-3-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">White House Dismisses Gold-for-Bitcoin Rumors, Eyes Budget-Neutral Expansion<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The CPA\u2019s report points to the risks of political influence being used to seek deregulation and other benefits, emphasizing that it could backfire, harming the reputation of these firms and reducing public trust in the crypto sector. The report also highlights the ethical dilemmas, including conflicts of interest involving Trump\u2019s crypto advisor, David Sacks, who could benefit from the U.S. government&#8217;s Bitcoin purchases.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the report discusses the hazards of political figures endorsing speculative and potentially fraudulent tokens, like Trump\u2019s $TRUMP coin and Argentina\u2019s $LIBRA. The lack of accountability in such moves could undermine the crypto industry\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the CPA calls for more transparency and accountability in crypto\u2019s political contributions to ensure its long-term viability and credibility in the financial world. Without these safeguards, the industry&#8217;s future remains uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. cryptocurrency companies have played a major role in President Donald
