Digital asset advocacy group Stand With Crypto has initiated a candidate survey as part of its preparations to support politicians favorable to the crypto sector ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
- The Survey: Sent out this week, the questionnaire aims to learn each qualifying candidate’s position on various crypto-related issues, including:
- Crypto innovation
- De-banking
- Crypto mining and zoning
- Consumer protections
- Accessibility
- Goal: Stand With Crypto, which was launched with support from Coinbase in 2023, seeks to turn crypto owners into a “powerful and unified voting bloc” and champion “clear, common-sense regulations.”
- Significance: According to Mason Lynaugh, the organization’s community director, the next Congress will be crucial in determining whether the U.S. adopts pro-crypto policies necessary for continued economic growth and innovation. The organization aims to ensure the U.S. maintains its “dominant global position” in the sector.
- Results: The responses from the survey will be used to inform voters and will be made public in early 2026.
The move highlights the crypto sector’s early preparations for the upcoming election cycle. Stand With Crypto is known for its system of ranking politicians based on their friendliness toward the digital asset industry.
