Utah Republican Rep. John Curtis is receiving significant support from the crypto industry in his Senate bid. At the Permissionless conference in Salt Lake City, Curtis emphasized the importance of lawmakers understanding technology to create informed regulations. He warned that lack of comprehension leads to unpredictable rules, which harms innovation. Crypto political action committees have poured millions into Curtis’ campaign. The crypto industry has contributed nearly half of all corporate donations this election cycle, surpassing banks and oil.
