Cantor Fitzgerald has donated $10 million to Fellowship PAC, a U.S. pro-crypto political action committee. FEC filings show Jesse Spiro, Tether’s head of government affairs, chairs the PAC. Howard Lutnick’s son leads Cantor, and Tether is a major client. The move aligns with a broader risk-on asset positioning. Recent regulatory focus on CFT measures has intensified scrutiny of corporate political spending.
