Crypto PACs Fuel Key Wins, Expanding Influence in US Politics

A competitive Senate race drew the industry’s most substantial investment in Ohio. Republican candidate Bernie Moreno received a crucial boost from the crypto sector, which poured in $40 million to lift his bid to unseat incumbent Sherrod Brown.

Brown, known for his stance against crypto, chairs the Senate Banking Committee and has pushed for tighter crypto regulations. Despite trailing in the polls in late October, Moreno emerged victorious with 50.2% of the vote. DC received a clear message that being anti-crypto is a good way to end your career,” noted Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on social media.

Beyond Ohio, crypto PACs spread their influence across several states, including Arizona, Indiana, and Maryland. Stand With Crypto, a tracking group, recorded 253 pro-crypto candidates elected to the House and 16 to the Senate, consequently signaling widespread legislative support for less restrictive crypto policies. This shows how the crypto industry is gaining more power in national regulatory discussions.

Crypto PACs like Fairshake and Protect Progress bolstered pro-crypto congressional candidates, emphasizing the sector’s interest in advancing regulatory frameworks. In Michigan, Protect Progress invested $1 million to support Democratic incumbent Shri Thanedar, who won, while Defend American Jobs backed Republican Jim Justice’s campaign in West Virginia with $3 million. These efforts, which succeeded even in low-risk races, illustrate the industry’s commitment to securing friendly lawmakers.

Crypto Industry Seeks Regulatory Shift with Trump’s Election Win

Moreover, the Biden administration focused on enforcing securities laws against crypto companies for years. President-elect Donald Trump promised to stop this crackdown and position the United States as “the crypto capital of the planet.”
