Tether has entered the U.S. political arena by associating with Fellowship PAC, appointing Jesse Spiro as its chairman. This marks Tether's first public connection with the PAC, highlighting the crypto industry's increasing political engagement. Meanwhile, Fairshake, backed by Coinbase, has amassed $193 million, with both PACs collectively holding nearly $300 million to influence the upcoming midterm elections. The backdrop to this political maneuvering is the stalled CLARITY Act in the Senate, with stablecoin yield regulations at the center of the debate. These regulations are crucial to the industry's business models and regulatory landscape, prompting major crypto players to shift from behind-the-scenes lobbying to active political participation.
