Stand With Crypto endorsed 32 House candidates on August 24, its largest slate yet. Senate endorsements are expected before the November midterms. The group is betting voter mobilization, not direct donations, can swing races.
Alpha Score of 35 reflects weak overall profile with weak momentum, weak value, poor quality, moderate sentiment.
Stand With Crypto, the nonprofit advocacy group tied to Coinbase, endorsed 32 U.S. House candidates on August 24. It is the organization's largest single slate of political backing so far. Senate endorsements are expected before the November midterms.
The strategy targets lawmakers who supported the Clarity Act, a bill that would set clear rules for digital assets. The legislation never passed the Senate. Stand With Crypto still treats support for it as a litmus test for who deserves the industry's political capital.
The 32 candidates span both parties. Republican endorsees include Tom Emmer and Bill Huizenga, both longtime advocates for crypto-friendly regulation. On the Democratic side, Ritchie Torres and Josh Gottheimer are headliners who have resisted blanket hostility toward digital assets.
This is not the group's first move of the cycle. In March it endorsed six candidates in battleground districts, testing the waters before the broader slate.
Stand With Crypto says it has more than 3 million registered advocates across all 50 states. The group launched an online voter hub that grades candidates on their crypto policy positions.
The approach relies on voter mobilization rather than direct campaign donations through a political action committee. Polling data cited by the organization supports that shift. According to the group, 64% of crypto holders say they are enthusiastic about supporting crypto-friendly candidates. 59% of crypto owners report they do not vote along strict party lines.
The Clarity Act may have stalled. The legislation it represented – clear rules distinguishing securities from commodities – remains the central policy goal for the American crypto industry. Without that framework, companies operate under conflicting guidance from the SEC and CFTC.
Stand With Crypto's Senate endorsements, expected closer to Election Day, will signal how aggressively the group intends to play in 2026.
