US (AMERICANS FOR FINANCIAL REFORM) : We’ve blocked crypto giveaways before. Now they’re back.

 

Friend, For more than a year, the crypto industry has been trying to muscle its agenda through Congress. Their goal has stayed the same the entire time: weaken oversight, box out regulators, and lock in rules that protect Trump’s crypto ventures and industry insiders while the public takes the risk. They assumed this would be a quick win. They assumed crypto bills would slide through committees with bipartisan cover and little scrutiny. They were wrong. Thanks to our work, together with leaders in Congress like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Maxine Waters, we’re winning these fights. AFR has been on the ground, challenging the crypto industry every step of the way. We organized and led coalition letters opposing industry-written bills. We briefed Senate and House staff on the real risks hidden behind the crypto’s aggressive, well-oiled PR schemes. Our nationwide network sent tens of thousands of direct messages pressuring Congress to block these crypto giveaways. We’re winning, but we haven’t won the fight. Each time the industry hit resistance, it regrouped. Bills were renamed. Provisions were reshuffled. Talking points were rewritten. The scams were rebranded and sent back into the process. That pattern exists for one reason: They think they can wait the public out and pass legislation now that we’re not looking. They’re wrong again. Help us finish the job. Fuel the research, advocacy, coalition work, and public pressure that have already stopped crypto giveaways and can stop the next one. Make a donation now. DONATE Trump-linked crypto ventures are pulling in massive investments. Shadowy money from corporate and foreign sources is entering the picture. Senators are being asked to weaken guardrails while corruption risks are becoming impossible to ignore. Recent reporting exposing the newest crypto scam has only sharpened those concerns. This fight is entering its most decisive phase. The industry is testing whether resistance holds as votes approach and headlines move on. Keeping pressure constant is what determines whether deregulation advances or collapses under public opposition. We are winning battle after battle, but the crypto industry think they can wait us out and win. Help us prove them wrong – again. Contribute $5 now. Let’s keep pushing until crypto corruption no longer dominates our democracy. -Patrick Patrick Woodall (he/him) Managing Director Americans for Financial Reform Support the campaign
