Bankless Take
Circle joins a host of tech companies looking to win Trump's favor in the new administration by pledging donation to his Inaugural Committee. Trump's election has proven to be a boon for the crypto markets, but the industry will have to wait until he takes office later this month to see to what degree he makes good on his promises. For now, companies are hoping to have a seat at the table, which is more than they got under Biden.
