Crypto industry-backed political advertising is flooding US election campaigns, but the ads largely avoid mentioning cryptocurrency itself. One of the most-run ads against Senator Sherrod Brown attacks him over 'unleashing' IRS agents, while in Wisconsin a Crypto.com-funded PAC labels candidate Mitchell Berman a 'woke radical activist'. Observers note the industry is spending heavily while framing its attacks on unrelated culture-war issues.
Why now: The scale of crypto industry election spending and its deliberate avoidance of crypto messaging is drawing attention and criticism.
