Trump Heads to South Carolina Amid Intensified Congressional Battle, Backed by Cryptocurrency and Artificial Intelligence Supporters

Former US President Donald Trump is re-engaging in the political arena as America prepares for upcoming Congressional elections, which will heavily influence the regulation of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. Trump is reportedly leveraging his $400 million MAGA Inc. super PAC to aid vulnerable Republicans in maintaining their Congressional majority. The outcome of these elections is critical for major financial backers this cycle. The cryptocurrency industry seeks a Republican-led Congress to pass the CLARITY Act and secure favorable regulations from the SEC and CFTC. Simultaneously, the AI sector aims to counter the perception that it is a liability in elections. Trump's campaign begins with a rally in South Carolina for Senator Darlin Graham. Republican officials suggest his influence could be decisive. Concurrently, crypto, AI, and online gambling companies have contributed a record $517 million this election cycle, with significant sums directed toward Trump-aligned groups. For instance, AI-focused PACs have raised and spent tens of millions. However, AI investments face public skepticism, with concerns over data centers potentially harming local political candidates. The effectiveness of Trump's strategy will be tested in the upcoming elections, where Republican candidates may rely on his support despite its controversial nature.

Hackers Set Traps on Over 2000 Hacked WordPress Sites for Cryptocurrency Users

Cybersecurity firm Check Point Research has uncovered a hacking campaign, dubbed "StopAndProtect," that has compromised over 2,000 poorly maintained WordPress sites. These legitimate-looking websites are used to host malware that specifically targets cryptocurrency users and Windows systems. The campaign employs a deceptive tactic where visitors are shown a fake CAPTCHA page. Attempting to solve it instructs the user to run a malicious PowerShell command. This downloads .NET malware capable of stealing cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases, saved passwords, and files from the infected computer. The malware can also encrypt data for ransom, take screenshots, and even record keystrokes. The attackers' unique method involves using these hijacked WordPress domains as free infrastructure to host malicious payloads, command-and-control servers, and stolen data storage. Researchers gained significant insight because the hackers left directories and log files publicly accessible online. These logs revealed an infection of over 6,000 unique IP addresses between mid-May and late July, with victims primarily in the U.S., Russia, and India. The uncovered data also included an attacker's tool for managing the compromised sites and a list of the nearly 2,000 domains involved in the scheme.

Cryptocurrency and AI companies become the largest sponsors of US congressional elections

Cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence companies have emerged as the largest corporate sponsors of the 2026 US congressional elections, according to a Reuters report citing data from Public Citizen. The crypto, tech, and online betting industries have contributed at least $294 million to the midterm elections so far. Overall, US corporations have spent $517 million on House and Senate races in the 15 months leading up to the end of the first quarter, surpassing the previous record of $461 million set during the entire two-year 2024 election cycle. Major spending is expected ahead of the November 3 vote, with companies like Meta and Andreessen Horowitz directing significant funds through political committees, including those focused on crypto and AI issues. Analysts from AdImpact estimate total political advertising spending for this election cycle could reach $11.6 billion, exceeding the $11.2 billion spent in the 2023-2024 cycle.

Pro-Cryptocurrency PAC Wins Primaries but Loses $2M Race in Florida

A pro-cryptocurrency political action committee (PAC), Fairshake, achieved mixed results in recent U.S. primary elections, spending millions to influence races ahead of the 2026 midterms. Fairshake's affiliated PACs, Protect Progress and Defend American Jobs, supported candidates in Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming, spending approximately $3.6 million. Four out of five candidates backed by their ads won their primaries or advanced. These included Democrat Lois Frankel in Florida, Republican Nick Begich in Alaska, Republican Sydney Gruters in Florida, and Representative Harriet Hageman in Wyoming's Senate race. However, a high-profile $2 million negative ad campaign by Protect Progress failed to defeat Democrat Oliver Gilbert in Florida's 24th District. Gilbert won despite the ads, which he attributed to "Trump's techie-billionaire friends" and "crypto-scammers trying to buy a Democratic primary." A PAC representative defended the ads' factual accuracy. Fairshake, with a reported $193 million war chest, has spent over $130 million in the 2024 cycle supporting pro-crypto candidates and opposing critics. A spokesperson stated the PAC is "just getting started" to build the largest pro-crypto Congress in history. The outcomes could impact future crypto legislation, such as the pending CLARITY Act, as the 2026 elections may shift congressional control and determine which parties advance or block industry-related bills.

Crypto PACs Spent Over $1.5 Million After Losing Michigan Primary

Following a defeat in the Michigan primaries, crypto-aligned political action committees (PACs) linked to Fairshake disclosed over $1.5 million in new spending on advertising for four U.S. House and Senate campaigns in Florida, Alaska, and Wyoming. The Defend American Jobs PAC directed more than $500,000 each to support Nick Begich in Alaska's at-large House district, Republican candidate Sydney Grueters in Florida's 16th district, and Harriet Hageman in Wyoming. Separately, the Protect Progress PAC spent over $50,000 on ads for the re-election of Lois Frankel in Florida's 23rd district. Nearly all supported politicians have previously voted for crypto-related legislation like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act. This spending disclosure comes after Protect Progress lost a $2 million media investment in Michigan, where incumbent Democrat Shri Thanedar lost his primary. In the 2024 election cycle, Fairshake and related crypto industry PACs have spent a total exceeding $170 million on congressional races.

Following primary loss, crypto PACs invest $1.5M in 3 US state races

Following a primary loss in Michigan, cryptocurrency-linked Super PACs affiliated with Fairshake invested over $1.5 million in three U.S. state races. The funds, spent by groups Defend American Jobs and Protect Progress, support both Republican and Democratic congressional candidates in Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming. Many of the backed candidates previously voted for crypto-friendly legislation like the CLARITY Act. This spending surge follows a $2 million loss in a Michigan primary. Overall, Fairshake-aligned groups have reportedly spent over $170 million in the 2024 election cycle, aiming to influence the makeup of Congress. The crypto industry's support is tied to lawmakers' stances on digital asset bills, with future votes potentially impacting the 2026 midterm elections.

Crypto-backed Michigan House incumbent loses primary despite $2M PAC support

Michigan State Representative Donavan McKinney defeated incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar in a Democratic primary for Michigan's 13th Congressional District. The race drew attention due to over $2 million in media spending from Protect Progress, a cryptocurrency-backed super PAC affiliated with Fairshake, which aimed to re-elect Thanedar. Thanedar had a pro-crypto voting record in Congress. McKinney, a progressive challenger, accused the crypto industry of trying to "pay back" his opponent. Despite the heavy PAC support, McKinney won with 51.9% of the vote. In a related development, a Fairshake affiliate spent over $65,000 supporting Republican Amanda McKinney in a Washington state primary.
