Crypto firms set to blow last year’s lobbying spend out of the water

Crypto companies spent $22 million on lobbying last year but splashed nearly $19 million in the first nine months of 2023.

Binance invested heavily in lobbying before guilty plea

Binance significantly increased its spending on lobbying in the lead-up to its plea deal with the US government.

The day CZ announced a settlement with the DoJ and several US agencies, he posted a potentially problematic statement.

Perlman took up his role at Binance last year and is front and center in its attempts to negotiate numerous government investigations.

Prosecutors claim CZ poses a flight risk because most of his wealth is outside the country and the UAE has no extradition deal with the US.
