Coinbase Dismisses Senator's Claims of Trump Favoritism as 'Ridiculous'

3 days ago7 min read

Coinbase has issued a firm rebuttal, labeling as 'ridiculous' the claims made by U. S.Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn. ) that the exchange's political donations are part of a 'Trump's corruption factory.' The dispute highlights a deepening political divide over the role of cryptocurrency in the American economy. Senator Murphy leveled his accusations on the social media platform X, suggesting the crypto industry's political spending was designed to curry favor with the former president.In its response, Coinbase asserted that its political engagement is principle-driven, not personality-driven, focused on supporting candidates from both major parties who advocate for a pro-innovation regulatory framework for the United States. The exchange argued that framing its actions as support for a single political figure ignores the broader, bipartisan nature of its advocacy for the digital asset ecosystem. This clash underscores the escalating tension between the rapidly growing crypto industry and some lawmakers who have expressed skepticism about its impact on financial stability and consumer protection.
