Coinbase is the largest digital asset exchange in the U.S. and has been battling the Securities and Exchange Commission in court for over a year. The company was the crypto kingmaker in the 2024 cycle, giving more than $75 million to a super PAC called Fairshake. It was one of the top spending committees of any industry this cycle and exclusively gave to pro-crypto candidates running for Congress. Fairshake's candidates won virtually every race that it funded in the general election.
"Being anti-crypto is simply bad politics," Coinbase's Armstrong wrote on X following Moreno's victory.
