Crypto Super PAC Fairshake takes top spot in funds raised

Fairshake PAC has raised more funds than any other Super PAC for the 2024 cycle, according to Federal Election Commission data compiled by OpenSecrets.

The Fairshake PAC has raised nearly $203 million, edging out the Make America Great Again Inc. Super-PAC, which has raised approximately $201 million.

The Super PAC has so far spent approximately $14.5 million, with the vast majority — around $10 million — spent against Katie Porter when she was running for Senate.

This group has received broad support from the crypto indUStry, led by Coinbase, which has committed over $45 million to the organization, with an additional $1 million from Brian Armstrong, the chief exec and founder of Coinbase.

Ripple has also committed $45 million, and $44 million has come from Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen, named partners for Andreessen Horowitz.

While these firms have led the fundraising for this firm, they have been joined by many others, including Jump, Kraken, Circle, Paradigm, and more.

Author and venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on this event by claiming, “Attacking crypto means risking your seat.”

The overall size of this Super PAC with this big of a war chest emphasizes the increasing importance of cryptocurrency as a political issue.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients.

In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange.

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line.

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst. In a Twitter post, Deutscher highlighted the reasons behind his prediction. I think $PEPE outperforms $DOGE next cycle. Why? • The Underwater Thesis: Less PEPE holders underwater vs DOGE, meaning less sell pressure on the way up + lower multiples to reach previous ATH (2.8x vs 12x). • People are more fatigued with the DOGE meme, Pepe feels fresher… — Miles Deutscher (@milesdeutscher) June 23, 2023 Deutscher’s first reason for supporting PEPE to outperform DOGE in the next cycle is what he called “The Underwater Thesis.” He noted fewer PEPE holders are “underwater” compared to DOGE holders. By that, he me...
