Kraken has announced a $2 million contribution to two pro-crypto political action committees (PACs) in preparation for the 2026 U.S. legislative elections. The cryptocurrency exchange will allocate $1 million each to the Freedom Fund PAC and The America First Digital, both of which back candidates promoting crypto-friendly policies. This initiative is part of a broader trend of increased political engagement by digital asset companies, aiming to influence regulatory clarity and safeguard digital rights such as self-custody and decentralized access.
