Stand With Crypto Backs 32 House Candidates Ahead of 2026 Midterms
Stand With Crypto, an advocacy group launched by Coinbase in 2023, has backed 32 House candidates for the 2026 US midterms. The group targets lawmakers it describes as 'proven digital asset policy champions' in competitive districts where its influence can most directly affect outcomes.
The endorsements arrive amid uncertainty over whether the Senate will advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act before the 2026 election. President Donald Trump has called for a 'fair version' of CLARITY, but questions about conflicts remain in public polling.
Stand With Crypto executive director Mason Lynaugh argues that crypto voters are now 'durable' and motivated enough to matter in national politics. The group's push is part of a broader effort to shape legislative outcomes on matters affecting the sector.
