Cryptocurrency Industry Invests Heavily in Bipartisan US Midterm Elections
Cryptocurrency firms and investors are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the 2026 US midterm elections through super PACs and donations, aiming for clearer digital-asset regulations after the CLARITY Act stalled. The Fairshake network, backed by major crypto companies like Coinbase and Ripple Labs, leads a bipartisan effort supporting both Republican and Democratic candidates who advocate for crypto-friendly legislation. This spending surpasses previous cycles and includes targeted campaigns in key races such as Ohio's Senate contest.
