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

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.

Crypto Bull Is Back, Which Assets Bounced the Hardest?

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant surge last week, with Bitcoin rallying over 26% to nearly $79,500, its strongest weekly gain since March 2023, fueling discussions of a renewed bull market. This rebound highlighted several key market dynamics. First, short-term directional shifts are increasingly tied to U.S. policy cycles. The rally was driven by two major catalysts: the U.S. Treasury's announcement to increase long-term bond buybacks, easing macro liquidity pressures, and former President Trump's push for clearer crypto legislation, boosting regulatory certainty and risk appetite. Second, Bitcoin spot ETFs solidified their role as a leading market indicator. In the week ending August 21, U.S. Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs saw a combined net inflow of $2.6 billion, the highest since October 2025, signaling strong institutional re-entry. Third, the rally followed a clear capital rotation pattern: Bitcoin's breakout ignited broader gains, with Ethereum (up nearly 30%), major altcoins, and meme coins sequentially posting larger percentage increases. Analysis of the top performers among the top 50 altcoins by market cap revealed the week's biggest gainers: ENA (Ethena) led with a 100.75% surge, fueled by a Coinbase partnership. It was followed by PUMP (Pump.fun, up 88-99%), STX (Stacks, up 82-94%), TRUMP (Official Trump, up 79-91%), and ZEC (Zcash, up 75.15%), which uniquely reached a new all-time high. Meme coins like BOME on Solana also saw explosive gains, exemplifying the high-risk, high-reward sentiment. The rally illustrated a clear path: Bitcoin set the stage, major coins like Ethereum led the charge, and altcoins/meme coins delivered the most explosive returns, mapping the gradient of returning market enthusiasm.

Wuhan is About to Witness Its Largest IPO in History

Wuhan is poised for its largest-ever IPO as Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. (YMTC) has officially applied for a listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market, seeking to raise 33 billion yuan. The domestic leader in 3D NAND flash memory chips completed its IPO辅导 (tutoring) process in a record three months, with market expectations valuing the company at 300 billion yuan or higher. YMTC's roots trace back to 2006 with the founding of Wuhan Xinxin. After surviving the global financial crisis and periods of operational difficulty, the company was formally established in 2016 through a joint investment involving Tsinghua Unigroup, the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (the "Big Fund"), and local Hubei government funds. With a distinct "national team" background, its major shareholders include provincial and municipal state-owned assets committees and the Big Fund. Based in Wuhan's Optics Valley (East Lake High-tech Development Zone), YMTC's potential listing highlights the region's rise as a tech hub. Optics Valley is already home to 72 listed companies and has ambitious plans to exceed 100 by 2030. The zone recently established four industry-focused母基金 (mother funds) totaling 18 billion yuan to further boost sectors like integrated circuits and optoelectronics. YMTC's IPO would complete the "Optics Valley Seven Stars," a group of leading local optoelectronic and communication giants.

Banks and Regulators Join Pilot Project to Test Quantum-Resistant Crypto Transfers

Banks and financial regulators from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have joined a pilot project to test quantum-resistant crypto infrastructure for digital asset wallets and on-chain transactions. The initiative, announced by the Responsible Fintech Institute and infrastructure provider Safeheron, will use NEAR's quantum-resistant testnet. It will employ the ML-DSA-65 post-quantum digital signature standard, recently finalized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Participating regulators include the Abu Dhabi Global Market, Bhutan's Gelphu Financial Services Authority, and Malta's Financial Services Authority. Financial institutions involved are Bison Bank and DK Bank. In the pilot, banks will test wallet creation and transactions in a unified application environment, while regulators will initially observe and later contribute to governance mechanisms. The organizers plan to publish a technical paper detailing the research, protocol design, and test results, eventually open-sourcing the core technology. This effort comes as financial authorities prepare for the advent of quantum computers, which threaten current public-key cryptography. For instance, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority aims for the territory's banking sector to be fully prepared for quantum-related security risks by 2030. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) also recommended in a 2025 document that financial institutions begin a coordinated, phased transition to post-quantum systems.
