As reported by BitcoinWorld, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy alleged that Coinbase received political favors from the Trump administration in exchange for donations, including a decision by the SEC to drop a lawsuit. Coinbase's Chief Policy Officer, Faryar Shirzad, denied the claims, calling them 'absurd' and emphasizing the company's bipartisan political engagement. He noted that donations to presidential inaugurations are a common practice and not unique to the Trump era. Coinbase maintains that its political contributions aim to advocate for clear regulations and foster industry growth, rather than seeking special treatment.
