Stand With Crypto PAC launches to back pro-crypto politicians

As a researcher with a background in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, I’m excited about the launch of Stand With Crypto, a new political action committee aimed at rallying financial support for crypto-friendly politicians. The organization’s bipartisan endorsements of candidates running in the House of Representatives and Senate is a significant step forward in advocating for the crypto and blockchain industry.


A newly formed political group called Stand With Crypto has been established to gather funds for candidates who favor cryptocurrencies.

Having over 440,000 members, the organization announced its support for bipartisan political candidates contesting in the House of Representatives and Senate elections. This action represents a cohesive initiative to champion the interests of the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector.

Based on information from the Federal Election Commission, a political action committee (PAC) has become part of the larger initiative of crypto super PACs, including Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress. Together, they have amassed over $110 million in funds during this election cycle.

As a crypto investor, I’m closely monitoring the political landscape and its impact on our industry. Recently, the scrutiny towards cryptocurrencies has intensified following allegations against Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, for defrauding customers and funneling over $100 million to U.S. political campaigns. In response, PACs (Political Action Committees) have rallied to support candidates who are crypto-friendly, aiming to strengthen their voices in Congress and mitigate any potential negative regulations that could harm our investment opportunities.

“With over 400,000 supporters, Stand With Crypto is a formidable force in the crypto community. By joining us today, you’ll be part of a movement that has already influenced elections and made history. The future belongs to this dynamic constituency – get involved now!”

Nick Carr, the strategic head at Stand With Crypto, highlighted the importance of backing and promoting candidates who will safeguard the interests of the organization’s crypto advocates during the upcoming November elections.

As a political analyst, I’ve had the opportunity to closely follow the campaigns of several candidates vying for seats in various districts and states during this election cycle. Among them are Jim Banks, a Republican running for Senate in Indiana; Jim Justice, another Republican aiming for a Senate seat in West Virginia; Shomari Figures, a Democratic contender for Alabama’s Second District; Eddy Morales, a Democrat challenging Oregon’s Third District; and Troy Downing, a Republican seeking to represent Montana’s Second District. Each of these individuals brings unique perspectives and experiences to the table, making their races intriguing and noteworthy in the broader political landscape.

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency industry, I have observed an escalating trend towards greater political engagement. In order to influence the regulatory landscape favorably, stakeholders in this sector are actively working to boost the prospects of candidate politicians who hold sympathetic views towards crypto.
