These donations aim to further Fairshake's mission to support pro-crypto candidates in the upcoming elections.

Meanwhile, a recent Bloomberg report claimed that former US President Donald Trump met with billionaire Elon Musk to seek counsel on crypto.

The report suggests that both billionaires are discussing crypto policies, following Trump's recent positive attitude towards Bitcoin and crypto. It also alleged that Trump's campaign is considering bringing Musk to speak on cryptocurrencies at a convention.

"Trump campaign officials have also talked about the possibility of inviting Musk to speak at the Republican convention, but are still far from making a final decision," Bloomberg wrote.

However, Elon Musk responded to the claims made by the report concerning his alleged meeting with Trump in an X post, stating that he has never had a conversation with Trump about cryptocurrencies.

"Pretty sure I've never discussed crypto with Trump, although I am generally in favor of things that shift power from government to the people, which crypto can do," said Musk.

In response to Trump's pro-crypto moves, President Joe Biden's campaign has allegedly been reaching out to crypto industry players, sources told The Block.

The sources said his camp has begun to see the crypto industry's potential impact on the forthcoming elections.

"The engagement effort, which started about two weeks ago, comes as Biden's camp increasingly recognizes the impact crypto-related issues could have on a presidential race that is likely to be close," The Block wrote.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change.
