Stand With Crypto launches voter hub, endorses six candidates

Stand With Crypto, a Coinbase-backed advocacy group, on March 26 launched an online voter hub that grades U.S. lawmakers on digital asset policy and issued six congressional endorsements ahead of November’s midterms.

The hub compiles public statements and legislative records to show where candidates stand on crypto rules, mirroring the group’s prior scorecard used in recent election cycles. Executive Director Mason Lynaugh, in a statement, described the effort as “helping voters wield their power as a potentially decisive voting bloc in races up and down the ballot,” and continued that the group aims to make the 120th Congress “the most pro-crypto session in America’s history.”

Endorsements went to Iowa Republican Zach Nunn, Nevada Democrat Susie Lee, New York Republican Mike Lawler, North Carolina Democrat Don Davis, Ohio Democrat Greg Landsman and Pennsylvania Republican Rob Bresnahan. All six received an A on the group’s scale.

Stand With Crypto plans media buys, email outreach and social media campaigns to mobilize supporters in targeted races. The organization referenced a get-out-the-vote program anchored by what it lists as 2.7 million advocates.

The group formed a political action committee in May 2024 with backing from Coinbase to participate in U.S. elections. Crypto-focused organizations and allied super PACs spent millions of dollars in the 2024 cycle and have continued financing candidates who support clearer digital asset rules.

Alongside the hub, Stand With Crypto released polling indicating that many crypto owners identify as swing voters. The survey, conducted by Impact Research in February among 1,000 crypto owners, found that 59% of crypto owners and 77% of self-identified Stand With Crypto voters do not always vote for the same party.

Earlier this month, the UK government halted crypto donations to political parties, effective March 25, 2026, citing the risk of foreign money being hidden in digital assets.
