Stand With Crypto launched a voter hub grading lawmakers and endorsed six candidates for the November midterm elections.

Summary

The Coinbase-backed crypto advocacy group, Stand With Crypto, has launched a new "voter hub" designed to grade congressional candidates based on their stances on digital assets, mirroring its previous candidate scorecard. Executive Director Mason Lynaugh stated the goal is to help voters become a decisive bloc to ensure the 120th Congress is the most pro-crypto session in U.S. history. The organization, which launched a PAC in May 2024, also endorsed six candidates—Reps. Zach Nunn, Susie Lee, Mike Lawler, Don Davis, Greg Landsman, and Rob Bresnahan—all of whom received an 'A' on the group's scorecard. Stand With Crypto plans to invest in media campaigns and deploy an aggressive get-out-the-vote effort targeting its 2.7 million advocates. A recent survey by the group indicated that a significant portion of crypto owners do not consistently vote for a single party.
