Trump Rakes in $429 Million Ahead of Midterm Elections, Crypto Industry Among Top Donors

2 hours ago

On February 3, the Financial Times reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump and his allies raised $4.29 billion in political donations for the midterm elections over the past year, setting a new record for a midterm election cycle. A substantial portion of this funding came from the cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI) industries, reflecting strong capital bets on their policy direction. The Trump-allied super PAC "Make America Great Again" (Maga Inc) currently holds $304 million, exceeding the fund size of any PAC in any prior midterm election year. The report noted that the Trump administration’s pro-crypto stance—including regulatory relaxation, terminated investigations, and legislative support—has been a key driver of large donations. The largest disclosed single donation came from Crypto.com, with the exchange platform contributing $30 million to Maga Inc. A prior SEC investigation into the company during the Biden administration was settled in 2025. Venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz each donated $3 million, while OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman and his wife collectively gave $25 million. Analysts suggest that as the midterms approach, crypto capital is ramping up its influence on regulatory and policy direction through political donations, with Trump remaining a key figure in the Republican camp drawing crypto funds.

Wintermute: The Bear Market is Not Over, But the Next Rebound Could Be "Different This Time"

On February 3, crypto firm Wintermute published an article noting Bitcoin has fallen below the $80,000 mark for the first time since the April 2025 Trump tariff event. Over the weekend, cumulative liquidations in the crypto market hit $2.55 billion—marking the 10th largest liquidation event in history. Market consensus holds this downturn wasn’t triggered by a single negative factor, but by the confluence of multiple macro catalysts: - Disappointing earnings from the U.S. stock market’s “Magnificent Seven” (Mag7) tech giants eroding the AI narrative; - The unexpected nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair; - A sharp precious metals pullback, with silver briefly plunging 26% intraday and triggering a CME circuit breaker—amplifying overall risk-off sentiment. Analysts note Bitcoin broke below its $85,000–$95,000 trading range (where it fluctuated for two months) as weekend illiquidity and high-leverage positions amplified selling pressure. Currently, crypto assets a

If Ethereum drops below $2200, the mainstream CEX long liquidation pressure will reach $476 million

Per Coinglass data as of Feb 3, Ethereum (ETH) liquidation metrics across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) highlight two critical price levels: - A drop below $2,200 would trigger $476 million in cumulative long liquidation strength. - Conversely, a break above $2,400 would lead to $944 million in cumulative short liquidation strength. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not show the exact number or value of contracts subject to liquidation. The bars on these charts instead reflect the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters—aka "strength." In plain terms, the chart indicates how impactful hitting a specific price will be: Higher bars signal a more intense reaction from a liquidity cascade when that price level is reached.
