To keep a former senator out of Congress, the crypto industry has spent over $100 million across two elections. His name is Sherrod Brown, former chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and he is considered one of the biggest obstacles to crypto legislation. In 2024, crypto political organizations like Fairshake spent approximately $40 million to help their opponents defeat him. This year, he ran in a special election in Ohio, and the crypto camp has invested another approximately $63 million to stop him.
