After the crypto industry’s success in influencing the 2024 US elections, an advocacy group announced plans to continue its efforts for the 2026 midterms.
The cryptocurrency advocacy organization backed by Coinbase has started surveying federal and state candidates on their positions on digital assets ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in the United States.
In a Monday notice shared with Cointelegraph, Stand With Crypto said it had sent a questionnaire to an unspecified number of candidates in state and federal races, asking for information related to their positions on “digital assets, crypto innovation, de-banking, crypto mining and zoning, consumer protections,” and more. The organization also requested that respondents disclose whether they had ever held crypto or used blockchain technology.
“The next Congress will have a significant impact on whether or not the US adopts the pro-crypto policies that will foster continued economic growth, innovation, and access,” said Stand With Crypto community director Mason Lynaugh.
