Stand With Crypto backs 32 lawmakers who supported CLARITY Act
The Coinbase-backed group said the lawmakers helped pass a bill that would divide crypto oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
- On Monday, Stand With Crypto endorsed 32 House lawmakers for the November elections, citing their support for the CLARITY Act during its passage through the chamber last year.
- The House passed the CLARITY Act by a 294-134 vote in July 2025, but the proposal remains stalled in the Senate amid disputes over stablecoin rewards and anti-money laundering requirements.
- Unlike a super PAC, the organization focuses on voter outreach and mobilization, claiming more than 3 million registered advocates who Stand With Crypto Executive Director Mason Lynaugh says could influence election outcomes.
- Crypto-Linked groups have committed close to $200 million during the 2026 midterm cycle, with Public Citizen reporting contributions reached about $189 million by June, surpassing the industry's estimated $170 million in 2024 spending.
- With 59% of crypto owners not reliably voting for one party, Lynaugh believes the group could be 'the difference maker' in competitive races featuring Arizona Republican Juan Ciscomani.
