Biden-Trump debate: Crypto goes completely unmentioned

June 28, 2024 Coin Telegraph

America

Joe Biden and Donald Trump didn’t discuss crypto in their first head-to-head debate despite a multibillion-dollar crypto lobbying war chest to influence the elections.

United States President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump didn’t mention crypto once in their 90-minute debate on Thursday despite crypto lobbyists raising millions of dollars for this election cycle.

The first of two CNN-hosted debates, held on June 27, focused on each presidential hopeful’s economic plans, abortion rights, immigration and foreign policy. It also briefly touched on their mental capabilities, with Biden, 81 and Trump, 78, the oldest candidates to ever run for president.

Despite a trio of crypto-backed super political action committees (PACs) raising $202.8 million from large industry backers and spending $93.6 million to influence the 2024 elections, the crypto sector received no mention.

charge

The Wikileaks founder is expected to plead guilty to one U.S. charge and be sentenced for time served in a U.K. prison.

Julian Assange was freed from a London prison on Monday after more than five years and will not be extradited to the United States after agreeing to a plea deal with authorities.

The WikiLeaks founder agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to obtain and disclose U.S. national defense information, Reuters reported on June 24 citing U.S. prosecutors filings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands.

In return, he is likely to be sentenced to 5 years, 3 months time served — which he’s spent in London’s Belmarsh Prison since being jailed there in April 2019.

Bitcoin ETFs sucked up 2 months of BTC mining supply in first week of June

June 10, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

In the first full trading week of June, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs acquired almost as much Bitcoin as they did in the entire month of May.

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States acquired the equivalent of around two months’ worth of the cryptocurrency’s mining supply in the first week of June.

With inflows of approximately $1.83 billion, the 11 ETFs bought 25,729 Bitcoin (BTC) in the trading week between June 3 and 7 — around eight times more than the 3,150 new BTC mined over the same time, according to data from HODL15Capital.

The amount of Bitcoin acquired in the week alone was almost as much as the entire of May, 29,592 BTC, per HODL15Capital’s count, and is the biggest week of buying since mid-March when Bitcoin hit its current all-time high of $73,679.

Coinbase chips in another M to crypto super PAC Fairshake

Biden

Coinbase has joined Andreessen Horowitz and Ripple in donating $25 million to the crypto-focused super PAC ahead of the United States elections.

Crypto exchange Coinbase says it donated $25 million to crypto-focused super political action committee (PAC) Fairshake as it ramps up lobbying ahead of the November United States elections.

In a June 3 blog post, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the latest donation brings the total amount raised by the PAC and its affiliates to $160 million this election cycle. The amount matches donations last week from Ripple and venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.

“Crypto voters won’t be taken seriously until we send a clear message to political candidates that it is bad politics to be anti-crypto,” Armstrong wrote. “We need to support pro-crypto candidates on both sides of the aisle, and unceremoniously vote anti-crypto candidates out of office.”
