Fellowship PAC gets $11M crypto-linked funding
Fellowship PAC disclosed $11 million in funding from Cantor Fitzgerald and Anchorage Digital, highlighting significant financial backing tied to crypto-linked entities ahead of US midterm elections.
The political action committee revealed $10 million came from Cantor Fitzgerald, a firm previously led by US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, alongside $1 million from Anchorage Digital.
The disclosure underscores close ties between Fellowship PAC and Tether, with chairman Jesse Spiro also serving as Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at Tether US.
The PAC simultaneously endorsed six Republican candidates across key races, spanning states including Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Nebraska.
Funding allocations included $850,000 supporting Nate Morris in Kentucky and $350,000 backing Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts, alongside broader campaign spending.
Fellowship also directed $4.5 million to NXUM Group, including $3 million for issue advocacy advertising and $1.5 million for campaign-focused ad production.
NXUM Group was co-founded by Bo Hines, the current CEO of Tether US and former director of Donald Trump’s crypto advisory council, reinforcing the network of political and industry ties surrounding the PAC.

VIPOil Risk Premiums and rToken Dividend Arbitrage Strategies
1. This week we focus on cross-asset positioning under an energy shock and arbitrage opportunities in tokenized-stock cash dividends. We recommend assessing market direction separately from income sources. Higher oil can weigh on growth valuations, lift inflation expectations, and spark expectations of Fed rate hikes, putting pressure on equities and crypto. 2. rToken net cash dividends can be distributed separately, but buying spot, shorting a perpetual, and holding across the record date does not automatically create an arbitrage. First confirm ex-dividend eligibility, platform snapshots, after-tax amounts, and the corporate-action rules for the short leg. Then compare funding fees, spreads, and execution costs. A dividend arbitrage strategy can be applied to STRC. 3. Next week's Fed decision and major technology earnings are key. Lower policy uncertainty can help restore risk appetite, but a sustained rebound still needs confirmation from rates, cloud growth, capital expenditure, and free cash flow. Our base case is a monthly-timeframe rebound in risk assets and crypto as earnings season, the Fed meeting, and the midterm elections pass and uncertainty recedes. Assets in focus: BTC, ETH, SOL, WTI, ASML, MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, CAT, and STRC
