Arthur Hayes: Before giving money, let politicians contribute to crypto

ChainCatcher news, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted on X, "Don't be foolish, let these vampires do something positive for crypto before considering giving them money." He then attached a letter from Democratic officials and members of Congress to Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison and potential future Democratic presidential candidates.

The letter states, "We urge the Democratic Chair and presidential candidates to take a forward-looking approach to digital assets and blockchain technology. A significant number of Americans have embraced digital technology, viewing it as a means to democratize economic opportunity. From an electoral perspective, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology have a tremendous impact on ensuring ballot victories, with over 20% of voters in key swing states considering cryptocurrency a major issue for the 2024 election. We believe this technology is nonpartisan, and the Democratic Party should also support these innovations to help reaffirm America's position as a global leader in the digital economy."
