Crypto Donors Jittery Over Midterm Spending After Clarity Act Failure

The U.S. crypto sector is facing a difficult political calculation as November’s midterm elections approach. After Senate Democrats blocked a major crypto bill last month, industry leaders must decide whether to retaliate at the ballot box or protect the bipartisan relationships they have spent years cultivating. Crypto interests have poured over $300 million into recent U.S. election campaigns, distributing their support between Republicans and Democrats. The spending was designed to build political backing for legislation that would establish clearer rules for digital-asset companies. The approach delivered a major success last year with legislation governing stablecoins, but momentum weakened after the…

Hackers Hijack X Account of Microsoft to Push Fake Crypto Coin

Microsoft’s official account on X was briefly taken over on Oct. 1, with hackers using the company’s large following to promote a crypto scam based on Clippy, the familiar animated paperclip once included with Microsoft Office. Microsoft confirmed the incident, noting that the account had been recovered and unauthorized material deleted. The breach affected @Microsoft, a profile followed by over 13 million users, giving the fraudulent campaign access to a significant audience before it was stopped.

MindWave Innovations Inc. (NYSE American: APUS) Pairs Insured Blockchain with Multi-Vertical Commercial Strategy

The weakness in a token-funded model is straightforward: Printing new tokens to pay for development can dilute existing holders, while community fundraising rounds only go as far as sentiment allows. MindWave's infrastructure centers on MindChain, which the company has billed as the world's first fully insured blockchain. The token tying this together is $NILA, currently a BEP-20 token with a total supply of roughly 1.06 billion. Many blockchain ecosystems rely heavily on token issuance and community funding to support development. A project issues a token, sells some of it and hopes enough demand develops to support the ecosystem as products…

The more important question is what infrastructure can support those applications as they become more complex and specialized. That is where MindWave Innovations (NYSE American: APUS) is positioning its business. Rather than building around a…

Overall, crypto-related organizations reported spending over $13 million on lobbying efforts between January and June. Of that total, about $8m was connected directly to the legislation, although disclosure forms often use…
