These days, there has been significant activity in the US crypto scene. According to the latest filings from the Federal Election Commission, two leading trading platforms have donated a substantial amount of money to MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Trump.

One platform made a donation by clearing 1.5 million USDC, while the parent company of the other platform was more direct — providing $10 million in cash on two separate occasions. With total donations exceeding $21 million, these figures clearly demonstrate the importance these institutions place on political engagement.

Currently, this super PAC has approximately $294 million in available funds. From the perspective of the crypto industry, this reflects a proactive strategy by platforms amid changing policy environments. After all, for crypto companies, political stance and regulatory friendliness directly impact their business development space. Such large donations are eye-catching, but they are a common practice in the US political ecosystem.

Investing 21 million dollars just to get a friendly regulatory environment? This deal is really worth it.

Whoa, $21 million? These platforms are really confident in Trump, going all-in on political betting.

Haha, this is what you call investing real money into politics—21 million just to spend as you wish. --- Once again, big players in the crypto world are betting on politics. It seems they really care about regulation this time. --- Regulatory friendliness = life or death. No wonder they’re spending money so aggressively. --- 150,000 USDC directly liquidated to buy political influence—does this deal make sense? --- American political games are just like this—money equals influence. --- So voting for Trump can get you a better regulatory environment? I’m a bit confused by this logic. --- A PAC fund pool of 294 million—does the crypto world really have enough money for this? --- Pouring cash into politicians, using USDC to buy regulation—new era, new tactics.

Oh no, this is the buying policy. Retail investors can only watch. Another 21 million invested, I just want to know when a friendly policy will come out. I've seen through it long ago—money equals influence. We retail investors still have to keep bottom-fishing. Playing all-in on political cards to make money? No, it should be playing all-in on regulation to make money. I also thought about getting involved in politics back then, but in the end, the market taught me a lesson. Young people, take a good look. These are the game rules of the big players. We just responsible for taking the hit. Investing 21 million for policy dividends, when calculated, is still a profitable business. Watching this kind of operation makes me think of 2018, when there were also all kinds of big news flooding the scene...

Investing 21 million USD, this is really betting on policy dividends. It's very realistic.

Investing 21 million into this is essentially buying policy friendliness... In plain terms, it's a disguised regulatory insurance fee.

This is just the game of capital, really boring. It's just about buying policies.

Again and again, political donations... These exchanges really treat money like paper. --- Investing 21 million just for friendly regulation? I think it's just a gambler's mentality. --- Now even exchanges have to play US politics. Is there anything pure left in Web3? --- USDC liquidation for donations... This move is truly brilliant. --- If this trend continues, cryptocurrencies will eventually become as corrupt as Wall Street. --- I just want to know what regulatory favors this money can finally buy. --- Wow, directly using cash, no concealment at all. --- Major platforms teaming up, small coins can forget about turning around. --- 21 million is just the tip of the iceberg. This is probably the ceiling of the crypto industry. --- The crypto circle has also fallen into political games. It's a bit ironic.
