Utah's Republican congressman John Curtis seeks to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Mitt Romney. Curtis has become a favorite among crypto supporters due to his stance and understanding of the crypto industry issues.
Support from Crypto Investors
During a Salt Lake City event, Curtis discussed with a group of crypto enthusiasts the importance of government awareness before introducing regulations, especially concerning the crypto industry. This opinion, stated in his speech, has attracted the attention of many in the crypto industry.
Actions of Crypto PACs
Political action committees, like the Defend American Jobs PAC, actively support Curtis, donating over $1.9 million to his campaign. The crypto industry continues to influence politics by backing candidates who support crypto-friendly laws.
Support for Candidates by Crypto Political Committees
Crypto political committees invest in campaigns of both Republican and Democratic candidates. For example, Protect Progress contributed $10 million to Senate races in Arizona and Michigan.
Thus, the crypto industry plays a significant role in the U.S. political processes, supporting candidates advocating for crypto-friendly regulations and blockchain technology development.
