The Coinbase-backed group endorses 32 House incumbents who voted for the CLARITY Act, aiming to keep friendly faces in the House while pressuring the Senate.
The advocacy group Stand With Crypto, founded by Coinbase in 2023, has endorsed 32 sitting U.S. House members running for re-election in the November 2026 midterms. Every representative on the list voted for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act – the CLARITY Act – when it passed the House. The bill would set federal rules for crypto and split oversight between the SEC and the CFTC.
The endorsements cross party lines. Republicans Tom Emmer and Bill Huizenga made the list, as did Democrats Ritchie Torres and Josh Gottheimer. Members from swing districts, including Arizona's Juan Ciscomani and Pennsylvania's Brian Fitzpatrick, are also on the roster. Emmer is House Majority Whip. Glenn "GT" Thompson chairs the Agriculture Committee. Bryan Steil leads the digital assets subcommittee under Financial Services.
The CLARITY Act cleared the House. It stalled in the Senate, where members are deadlocked for months on several provisions. Crypto firms consider the bill their top legislative priority, and Stand With Crypto's endorsements are meant to keep friendly faces in the House while turning up pressure on the other chamber.
Steven Horsford introduced the bipartisan PARITY Act this session. Huizenga co-sponsored the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act and the CLARITY Act. Warren Davidson previously filed the Bitcoin for America Act.
Stand With Crypto says it has more than 3 million registered supporters nationwide. Executive Director Mason Lynaugh described the group's evolution since the 2024 cycle.
"In 2024 we were very much proving that the crypto voter is real," Lynaugh said. "In 2026 we're very much showing that we have the organizing capacity and that our advocates are a true voting bloc that can move the needle."
The endorsements do not come with direct campaign donations. Representatives with high Stand With Crypto scores often receive money from industry super PACs. Fairshake, the largest crypto-focused PAC, reports $122 million ready to deploy before November. It has already backed 49 winners in primaries.
Combined crypto-aligned political spending hit roughly $200 million for the 2026 cycle, up from about $170 million in 2024. Stand With Crypto plans to release Senate endorsements and picks for open seats closer to Election Day.
