Stand With Crypto, America’s leading crypto advocacy organization, has launched a 2026 midterm election program which includes a new voter hub online and a slate of candidates who they are endorsing as positive for cryptocurrency.

The goal, of course, is to mobilize voters in support of pro-crypto congressional candidates who will shape the future of digital assets innovation.

“This year crypto voters are poised to play a powerful and decisive role at the ballot box — our goal is to equip our more than 2.7 million advocates across the country with the tools they need to make informed choices this November,” said Executive Director of Stand With Crypto Mason Lynaugh.

“We’ve created our voter hub with the express purpose of helping voters wield their power as a potentially-decisive voting bloc in races up and down the ballot. The races we’re prioritizing for investment this cycle will focus our efforts on ensuring the 120th Congress is the most pro-crypto session in America’s history. We’re proud to announce our support for a group of candidates who have already proven their commitment to championing clear, common-sense regulations that unlock crypto’s innovation potential.”

Interestingly, the current list of endorsed candidates includes both sides of the aisle:

  • U.S. Representative Zach Nunn (R), IA-03
  • U.S. Representative Susie Lee (D), NV-03
  • U.S. Representative Mike Lawler (R), NY-17
  • U.S. Representative Don Davis (D), NC-01
  • U.S. Representative Greg Landsman (D), OH-01
  • U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan (R), PA-08

Other races include Ohio’s Ninth Congressional District and Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, where incumbents – both Democrat and Republican are reported by the organization to have concerning records on crypto.

According to a release from the organization, Stand With Crypto will invest in a multi-channel strategy that includes paid media campaigns across digital and direct mail, targeted SMS outreach, and robust digital organizing through email and social platforms.

These efforts will be reinforced by on-the-ground activations via state and college chapters, all with the goal of making crypto voters into a decisive force at the ballot box in support of endorsed candidates.

Statistics revealed that nearly 80 percent of crypto owners describe themselves as “almost certain” to vote, and more than 75% of crypto owners describe themselves as enthusiastic to vote in the 2026 general election, meaning they are a massive group who votes at a higher clip than the rest of the nation.

Stand With Crypto aims to tap into that group and use it to make a huge difference in their goal of getting crypto friendly policy at the forefront of the American political landscape.

Over the past two years, Stand With Crypto has built a community-led movement to mobilize and harness the voice of America’s 52 million crypto owners into a powerful and unified voting bloc, championing clear, common-sense regulations for the crypto industry and unlocking crypto’s innovation potential while fostering greater economic opportunity and freedom.
