This year, Trump returned to the White House and held the most extravagant inauguration week in history for himself. According to Forbes, donations from corporate supporters and executives reached a record-breaking $239 million. Among them, the crypto industry, as one of Trump's most ardent supporters, contributed $18 million. Ripple, which has long been in litigation with the SEC, donated nearly $4.9 million, ranking second among all donors. Of course, this money was well spent. The SEC subsequently dropped lawsuits or threatened actions against donors to Trump's inauguration fund, including Coinbase, Crypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, Kraken, and Ripple.
