Lobby Lobsters donates $4 million to lobbying group Coin Center
A DAO has voted unanimously to donate the $4 million in crypto it raised from the sale of 10,000 "Lobby Lobster" NFTs to Washington crypto lobbying group Coin Center.
Monthly polls will determine where money is donated to
The Lobby Lobsters was an NFT project that sold for 0.1 ETH and was created to support lobbying groups that are lobbying to support the crypto industry. Lobby Lobsters had not determined what the proceeds would be used for before the sale, but in a DAO vote yesterday, the DAO decided to donate the money to the nonprofit research and lobbying organization Coin Center.For secondary market sales on the OpenSea marketplace, 2.5% of the proceeds go to OpenSea, with the remaining 7.5% going to other lobbying groups and organizations. Monthly polls determine the organizations.
DeFi projects are in a difficult situation
Gensler spoke to the European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee earlier this month, calling cryptocurrencies "highly speculative." Two days later, The SEC revealed that they had started an investigation into decentralized exchange Uniswap.Coinbase was also under pressure from the SEC because of its plan to launch a lending product that would pay stablecoin holders 4% interest. The threat, which related to whether Coinbase's product would constitute a securities offering, prompted Coinbase's CEO Brian Armstrong to respond in 21 tweets, saying that there had been "some really sketchy behavior coming out of the SEC recently.
It seems the creators of Lobby Lobsters want to use the money they raised to help DeFi and CeFi projects and companies gain more power in Washington. The goal of Coin Center is to conduct research, educate policymakers, and advocate for sensible regulatory approaches to this technology. The hope is that the money donated will facilitate this and help projects such as Uniswap and companies like Coinbase feel less pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
