After achieving influence in the 2024 US elections, a cryptocurrency advocacy group is setting its sights on the 2026 midterm elections.

Stand With Crypto, backed by Coinbase, has initiated a survey to assess the positions of federal and state candidates on digital assets in the US.

In a Monday statement to Cointelegraph, they revealed they distributed a questionnaire to numerous candidates regarding their stances on topics including digital assets, crypto innovation, and consumer protections, among others. The group also asked candidates if they have ever engaged with cryptocurrency or blockchain technology.

Mason Lynaugh, the community director of Stand With Crypto, remarked, “The next Congress will significantly influence whether or not the US embraces pro-crypto policies that will promote ongoing economic growth and innovation.”

Utilizing the responses from their questionnaire, the organization plans to direct their mobilization efforts, foster events, and encourage crypto-supporting individuals to cast their votes. The organization has already made an impact in the 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election, possibly contributing to Democrat Mikie Sherrill’s roughly 450,000-vote victory.

With all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats up for election in 2026, along with various state positions, Stand With Crypto aims to cultivate a landscape where pro-crypto policies can thrive.

“The results of the questionnaire will dramatically influence the ratings candidates receive from Stand With Crypto and is the primary avenue for them to gain exposure on our platform for voters.”

As the US holidays approach, Congress members will be back in their districts, which may slow down progress on new legislation concerning digital asset regulation.
