Fellowship PAC Launches With $100M to Back Pro-Crypto Leadership

TheCryptoTimesPublished on 2025-09-15Last updated on 2025-09-15

New political group Fellowship PAC has launched with a huge $100 million commitment. Announced today in Washington, the group says its goal is to keep America a leader in cryptocurrency, new technology, and transparency. 

To do this, it plans to support candidates who believe in innovation and who can help the U.S. stay ahead in digital assets and entrepreneurship. This effort comes at a time when many worry about unclear regulations, skilled workers moving overseas, and the need for stable rules.

The group emphasized its foundation on transparency and trust, distancing itself from narrow political interests.

On X, the Fellowship PAC stated: “Introducing The Fellowship PAC: launching with $100M+ committed to back pro-innovation, pro-crypto candidates—and keep America 1 in digital assets & entrepreneurship. Built on transparency and trust.” 

Hence, the PAC positions itself as a guardian of innovation while securing clarity for entrepreneurs and investors.

According to the PAC, four priorities will guide its mission. It will support candidates who advocate for predictable rules for digital assets. Moreover, it will focus on protecting America’s global advantage, ensuring fairness in the innovation economy, and preventing entrepreneurs from leaving the U.S. due to regulatory uncertainty.

The new administration led by President Trump’s regulatory framework is changing America into a global crypto hub. Consequently, the Fellowship PAC seeks to support this by offering crypto firms the clarity and freedom required to innovate domestically.

Growing Industry Backing

Leading figures are said to be backing the effort . The Winklevoss twins, co-founders of Gemini, and Coinbase are reportedly involved, though no official confirmation has been made. 

Notably, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss revealed in August that they donated $21 million in Bitcoin to a Republican-aligned PAC supporting Trump’s pro-crypto stance. Additionally, angel investor Naval Ravikant recently joined efforts through the Digital Freedom Fund PAC. 

According to a report by Politico, Ripple, Coinbase, Kraken, Circle, and Robinhood have collectively poured over $160 million into Trump’s inaugural fund.

Meanwhile, initiatives like Fairshake PAC have already gathered $141 million for the upcoming 2026 congressional cycle, showing the rising influence of crypto-focused PACs in the political arena. 

Fellowship PAC has shown the influence of cryptocurrency on American politics. As a result, this puts global competitiveness, innovation, and regulation in the main policy discussions.

Ledger has eliminated a vulnerability in the Ethereum application

Ledger has patched a vulnerability in its Ethereum application related to certain clear signing transaction flows. The bug, found by Ledger's internal security team Donjon using AI-powered tools, was fixed in app version 1.22.2. The issue involved the processing of APDU command flows, where a malicious smart contract could theoretically trick the user interface and substitute transaction data during signing. For instance, a user might believe they were approving a small transfer while actually granting unlimited access to an attacker's address. Ledger's CTO Charles Guillemet stated that users with updated firmware and apps are fully protected. He criticized a third-party security company for its public disclosure of the bug after the patch was already released, calling it a violation of responsible disclosure principles. The company allegedly requested a bounty post-fix without prior discussion with Ledger's bug bounty program. The report follows recent news of a data breach at hardware wallet competitor Trezor, where a logistics partner was hacked.

"Transparency" Act Will Not Save U.S. Treasury Market, Analyst Warns

An analyst warns that the proposed "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" will not save the U.S. Treasury bond market. While some proponents believe the legislation would enable stablecoins to boost demand for U.S. debt, investment manager Lawrence Lepard argues this is a misconception. He notes the total market cap of stablecoins (primarily backed by Treasuries held by firms like Circle and Tether) is around $255 billion and has stabilized, which is insufficient against the trillions in debt the Treasury must refinance annually. He estimates stablecoins would cover only about 3% of the needed funding. Most analysts agree clear regulations would increase stablecoin demand, but Lepard contends expecting it to significantly offset declining foreign investor demand—down from 57% post-financial crisis to 32% in 2025—is unrealistic. However, figures like Coinbase's Fariar Shizarad stress that dollar-pegged stablecoins could convert global digital dollar demand into Treasury demand, which is needed across the yield curve.

NVIDIA's AI Sweeps ARC-AGI-3, Chinese-Led Team Aces All 183 Levels in One Go

NVIDIA's general-purpose coding agent AVO has achieved a perfect 100.00 RHAE score on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark. It solved all 183 levels across 25 game environments in just 6,624 steps. ARC-AGI-3 is a notoriously difficult test where agents are placed into unfamiliar games with no instructions, forcing them to deduce rules and goals through trial and observation. Top models like Claude Opus 5 typically score only around 30% when acting alone. AVO's breakthrough comes not from improving the underlying AI model (Claude Opus 5), but from adding an intelligent external framework or "harness" around it. This framework addresses three key failure modes: misunderstanding global rules, misapplying familiar mechanics, and failing to learn correctly from success. Two core mechanisms drive AVO's performance: 1. **Persistent Memory:** It stores past attempts, compiler outputs, and reasoning across tasks, preventing the model from resetting and re-exploring dead ends when its context window fills. 2. **Supervisor Agent:** A separate module monitors the main agent's progress, intervening to redirect strategy when it gets stuck or repeats unproductive actions. Notably, AVO processed the visual game environments using a pure 64x64 text grid representation, without any image tokens. Originally developed for GPU kernel optimization, AVO autonomously evolved CUDA code for 7 days, producing attention kernels that outperformed NVIDIA's own cuDNN and the leading open-source implementation, FlashAttention-4. The same core architecture was then successfully applied to ARC-AGI-3, demonstrating its generalizability for long-horizon, autonomous problem-solving. The project features a predominantly Chinese team, including Distinguished Engineer Bing Xu (co-author of the original GAN paper and creator of MXNet) and Tianqi Chen (creator of TVM and XGBoost). NVIDIA's strategy highlights that while AI models are crucial, the surrounding system—managing memory, tools, and feedback—is equally vital for creating capable, long-term autonomous agents. This approach aligns with NVIDIA's focus on providing the essential hardware and software infrastructure for the next generation of AI workloads.

Anthropic: AI Has Not Led to an Increase in Unemployment Rate

Anthropic's Chief Economist, Peter McCrory, argues that despite significant growth in AI adoption, it has not yet led to increased unemployment in the US. Current data shows stable unemployment rates, even in occupations highly exposed to AI automation. His analysis, based on Anthropic's research over 18 months, suggests AI is currently a "skill-biased, labor-augmenting" technology. It enhances human capabilities rather than replacing workers because every job contains tasks—like interpersonal coordination or physical interaction—that AI cannot systematically perform. Furthermore, effective use of AI requires high user expertise, and human roles in planning and judgment remain crucial, even as agents handle more delegated tasks. McCrory acknowledges three future scenarios—software, economic, and Coasean singularities—where AI could recursively improve itself or drastically lower transaction costs, potentially disrupting labor markets and organizational structures. However, he posits that "weak links," the indispensable tasks resistant to automation, will act as a buffer, preventing a collapse in labor's share of income. He predicts US unemployment will not rise significantly due to AI within the next 12 months, with key indicators being unemployment in AI-exposed jobs and the return on human expertise in agent-based workflows.
