With the expanding importance of digital assets in American society, the crypto industry is working to offer 52 million American digital asset owners a fair shot. Twenty big cryptocurrency companies and powerful personalities have donated $78 million, and the amount is growing, to support unbiased and pro-cryptocurrency politicians in the 2024 elections.

78M Fund to Improve Financial System for the American Dream

As per a Coinbase blog, This extensive fundraising effort aims to improve the financial system so average Americans can pursue the American Dream. Only 9% of Americans are satisfied with the banking system. As a response, the cryptocurrency sector has raised $78 million to help Americans seeking equity in the American Dream through digital assets.

The future of crypto in the US depends on elections and policies that promote responsible and equitable crypto sector regulation. This is crucial to balance regulatory methods that prioritize enforcing rules above offering clear guidance. The lack of openness leaves average Americans ignorant and may drive economic activity and innovation elsewhere.

Given the upcoming elections, the crypto community is spending heavily to show its support. The Fairshake Super PAC and its affiliated organizations representing the crypto community have raised over $78 million, which is growing. This financial support helps candidates who share the crypto industry’s goal of a fair and comprehensive financial system.

2024 Elections Pave Way for Financial System Overhaul

For the crypto industry, the 2024 elections will help candidates who support financial system modernization against those who promote slow, exclusive, and expensive old institutions. Recent data shows that only 7% of Americans aged 18–40 trust the banking system to serve them. With over 40% of eligible voters and predicted to become the majority by 2028, this generation influences financial policies.

Interestingly, 52% of young Americans rarely use the financial system. Only 19% of Millennials and 9% of Gen Z adults believed in the American Dream, demonstrating their unhappiness. Therefore, 51% of these younger generations are likely to vote for crypto-friendly candidates in 2024.

Younger generations are using technology to empower themselves and fight for change as financial pressures rise and discontent with the system grows. The cryptocurrency business’s large capital raise suggests a conscious effort to ensure that 52 million Americans with digital assets have a voice in the financial future.
