Fairshake


Fairshake is a SuperPAC funded by the cryptocurrency industry that supported pro-cryptocurrency candidates in the 2024 United States elections. Major contributors include Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz. Fairshake spent nearly twice as much on Republican candidates than on Democratic candidates.
The Hill reported that more than $10 million of the super PAC's spending went toward opposing the California Democratic Senate primary bid of Katie Porter, who lost in the March 2024 primary.
As of June 2024, CNBC reported that Fairshake had backed the winning candidate in 33 of the 35 House and Senate primary races it had entered.
Following the 2024 presidential election, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple Labs, claimed that the creation of Fairshake and other legislative efforts around cryptocurrency regulation are a reaction to the federal government's "War on Crypto."
