Crypto industry wields its influence in Washington after pouring over $30 million into campaigns
U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., called on New Yorkers to support the cryptocurrency market in a March op-ed in the New York Daily News titled, “A liberal case for cryptocurrency.”
“With a multi-billion dollar market capitalization, crypto is here to stay. It’s not going anywhere. New York City should and must embrace crypto if it is to remain the financial capital of the world,” wrote Torres, who sits on the House Financial Services Committee.Torres defended his crypto-backed events in a statement to CNBC, reiterating that he’s received “minimal” contributions from those in the digital currency industry.
