根據(jù)上周日提交至聯(lián)邦選舉委員會(huì)（Federal Election Commission）的文件顯示,，唐納德·特朗普的就職周被認(rèn)為是史上最奢華的一次，這得益于企業(yè)支持者和高管創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的2.39億美元捐款,。這些捐款有很大一部分來自加密貨幣行業(yè),。該行業(yè)是特朗普最積極的擁護(hù)者之一，加密貨幣公司及高管為第47任總統(tǒng)就職典禮捐贈(zèng)了1,800萬美元,。其他主要捐贈(zèng)方包括?？松梨冢‥xxon Mobil）等石油巨頭、谷歌（Google）等大型科技公司,，以及美國電子煙行業(yè)游說團(tuán)體,。
長期與美國證券交易委員會(huì)（Securities and Exchange Commission，SEC）訴訟纏斗的Ripple Labs以近490萬美元的捐贈(zèng)額位居前列,。Ripple的捐款在所有捐贈(zèng)方中排名第二,，排名第一的則是捐款500萬美元的全球禽肉生產(chǎn)巨頭之一Pilgrim’s。
從加密貨幣交易中獲取大量收入的在線券商Robinhood捐贈(zèng)了200萬美元,。其他大額捐贈(zèng)方包括Coinbase,、Kraken和Crypto.com等頭部加密貨幣交易所。此外,，最近提交上市申請的穩(wěn)定幣發(fā)行商Circle,，以及管理資產(chǎn)在2024年逼近歷史高點(diǎn)的風(fēng)投巨頭Paradigm，各捐贈(zèng)了100萬美元,。
盡管許多加密貨幣公司此前已公開披露對特朗普就職活動(dòng)的捐款,，但上周日的文件首次完整揭示了該行業(yè)向總統(tǒng)“輸血”的全貌。
在前總統(tǒng)喬·拜登任內(nèi),，美國證券交易委員會(huì)對加密貨幣行業(yè)發(fā)起大規(guī)模打擊,，主張大多數(shù)加密貨幣應(yīng)屬于證券，或與股票和債券一樣的金融資產(chǎn),，必須遵守嚴(yán)格的披露規(guī)則,。面對接踵而至的訴訟，加密貨幣行業(yè)高管們募集了空前海量的資金,，并花費(fèi)了1.3億美元試圖影響國會(huì)選舉,、扶持親加密貨幣的候選人。
加密貨幣公司的首席執(zhí)行官們也集體支持特朗普,。特朗普則自稱是“親加密貨幣的總統(tǒng)”,。加密貨幣交易所Gemini的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人泰勒·文克萊沃斯和卡梅倫·文克萊沃斯各自承諾向特朗普連任競選捐款100萬美元,，Kraken聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼董事長杰西·鮑威爾同樣捐款100萬美元。
特朗普重回白宮后,，便組建了對加密貨幣友好的政府,。他任命了人工智能與加密貨幣事務(wù)主管，批準(zhǔn)建立戰(zhàn)略比特幣與數(shù)字資產(chǎn)儲(chǔ)備,，并削弱了商品期貨交易委員會(huì)（Commodity Futures Trading Commission）,、證券交易委員會(huì)和司法部針對加密貨幣的訴訟部門的職能。
此后,，證券交易委員會(huì)撤銷或中止了對多家特朗普就職基金捐贈(zèng)方的訴訟威脅,，包括Coinbase、Crypto.com,、Uniswap,、Yuga Labs、Kraken和Ripple,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

President Donald Trump had the most lavish inauguration week in history, thanks to a record $239 million in donations from corporate supporters and executives, according to a Sunday filing with the Federal Election Commission. A hefty portion came from the crypto industry, which has been one of Trump’s most vocal supporters: Crypto firms and their leaders gave $18 million in inauguration donations to the 47th president. Other big donors include oil companies like Exxon Mobil, big tech firms like Google, and a lobby group for the U.S. vaping industry.
Ripple Labs, which has battled the Securities and Exchange Commission in a long-running court case, led the pack with almost $4.9 million. Ripple’s donation was the second largest among all donors. Pilgrim’s, one of the world’s largest poultry producers, gave the most with its $5 million donation.
Robinhood, the online brokerage that reaps a sizable percentage of its revenue from crypto trading, donated $2 million. Other large donors include some of the top names in the industry, including exchanges Coinbase, Kraken, and Crypto.com. The stablecoin issuer Circle, which recently filed to go public, and venture capital titan Paradigm, which saw its assets under management soar to near highs in 2024, also donated $1 million each.
While many crypto companies had already publicly disclosed their donations to Trump’s inauguration, the Sunday filing shows the full extent to which the industry has showered the president with cash.
Under former President Joe Biden, the SEC led a widespread crackdown on the crypto industry as it alleged that the majority of cryptocurrencies are securities, or financial assets like stocks and bonds that must adhere to strict disclosure regimes. Faced with lawsuit after lawsuit, crypto executives amassed an unprecedented war chest and spent more than $130 million to sway congressional elections and elect pro-crypto candidates.
Crypto CEOs also rallied around Trump, who described himself as a “pro-crypto president.” Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, the cofounders of crypto exchange Gemini, pledged $1 million apiece to Trump’s reelection campaign. And Kraken cofounder and chairman Jesse Powell also donated $1 million.
After he won back the White House, Trump ushered in a crypto-friendly administration. He hired an AI and crypto czar, authorized the creation of a strategic Bitcoin and digital assets reserve, and oversaw the defanging of crypto litigation units at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the SEC, and the Department of Justice.
The SEC has since dismissed lawsuits filed or threatened against donors to Trump’s inauguration fund, including Coinbase, Crypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, Kraken, and Ripple.
