Coinbase-affiliated advocacy group endorses candidates for US midterms
With just over two months until the US general election, Stand With Crypto announced its pick for politicians in its efforts to “elect the most pro-crypto Congress in history.”
As Election Day approaches, the advocacy group Stand With Crypto has announced its roster of endorsed candidates for the 2026 US midterm elections. Launched by Coinbase in 2023, Stand With Crypto aims to elect the "most pro-crypto Congress in history" by endorsing 32 House of Representatives candidates based on their digital asset policy views.
The organization specifically targeted competitive races, hoping to sway outcomes in those districts. Stand With Crypto executive director Mason Lynaugh noted the growing influence of "Crypto Voters," who are now a reliable and motivated voting bloc that could sway key congressional races. This move comes as crypto policy is expected to become a pivotal issue in upcoming elections, with crypto companies already pouring millions into PACs and candidates who align with their interests.
Since 2024, over 270 pro-crypto candidates have been elected to Congress, potentially impacting legislation such as the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.
