Stand With Crypto Surveys Candidates Ahead of 2026 Elections

Stand With Crypto, a cryptocurrency advocacy organization supported by Coinbase, has initiated a survey of federal and state candidates regarding their positions on digital assets, ahead of the 2026 midterm elections in the United States. In a notice shared with Cointelegraph on Monday, Stand With Crypto announced that it had dispatched a questionnaire to an undisclosed number of candidates in state and federal races. The questionnaire seeks insights into their viewpoints on “digital assets, crypto innovation, de-banking, crypto mining and zoning, consumer protections,” and other related topics. The organization also requested that respondents disclose any prior holdings of cryptocurrency or usage of blockchain technology. “The next Congress will wield considerable influence over whether the US adopts pro-crypto policies that foster sustained economic growth, innovation, and accessibility,” stated Mason Lynaugh, community director at Stand With Crypto. Stand With Crypto intends to leverage the survey results to pinpoint areas of focus for the 2026 midterm elections, mobilizing through events and encouraging crypto-conscious individuals to vote. The organization previously engaged voters in the 2025 election for New Jersey’s governor, potentially impacting Democrat Mikie Sherrill’s victory by an estimated 450,000 votes.

Impact of 2026 Elections on Crypto's Future

All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 33 seats in the Senate will be contested in the 2026 elections, along with numerous state-level positions. In 2024, Stand With Crypto reported that 274 candidates, deemed “pro-crypto” based on their public statements and voting records, secured election or reelection. Cointelegraph has reached out to Stand With Crypto for further clarification on the number of candidates targeted by the questionnaire and how the results will inform the organization's strategies, but has not yet received a response.

Holiday Impact on Crypto Legislation

Members of the House and Senate are scheduled for state work periods this week, preceding the Thanksgiving holiday. While Congress continues to advance a bill establishing a comprehensive digital asset market structure, the holidays and the prior government shutdown may impede Republican lawmakers’ ambition to enact the bill into law by 2026. Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott recently suggested passage in early 2027. Magazine: 2026 is the year of pragmatic privacy in crypto: Canton, Zcash and more
