Campaign cash buys Big Crypto allies on Capitol Hill

The key lawmakers pushing a trio of cryptocurrency bills that passed during so-called “crypto week” on Capitol Hill are the top beneficiaries of crypto campaign cash, heightening concerns about the crypto industry’s increasing influence in U.S. economic policy.

So far this year, co-sponsors of two of the cryptocurrency bills debated by the House this week have received the most crypto-tied campaign money from corporate donors, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of Federal Election Commission data.
