Naval Ravikant Backs Pro-Trump Crypto PAC

Crypto Leaders Unite Behind Pro-Trump PAC

Prominent investor Naval Ravikant has joined forces with the Winklevoss twins, founders of the Gemini crypto exchange, to support the Digital Freedom Fund PAC, a political action committee backing Donald Trump.

The PAC aims to champion pro-crypto candidates within the Republican Party during the 2026 midterm elections, aligning with Trump's vision of establishing the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the world." The Winklevoss twins donated $21 million in Bitcoin to the PAC.

Key Policy Goals

The PAC's agenda includes several key priorities:

• Advancing crypto market structure.
• Protecting crypto ownership and self-custody rights.
• Supporting developers.
• Opposing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
• Promoting fair and open banking access.
• Rejecting overregulation.
• Supporting the SEC's "Project Crypto."

Ravikant's Stance

Ravikant, known for his early crypto investments through MetaStable Capital (acquired by Dragonfly in 2022), has expressed skepticism towards altcoins. He has previously criticized the inclusion of non-Bitcoin cryptocurrencies in any potential U.S. government digital asset stockpile.

However, his support for the PAC suggests a broader alignment with the Trump administration's overall approach to crypto regulation.
