Coinbase-Backed Crypto Group Warns of Midterms Payback After Clarity Act Fails

The Coinbase-backed Stand With Crypto will add senators’ votes to its scorecards as it rallies crypto voters ahead of November’s elections.

• The Coinbase-backed Stand With Crypto group is warning of electoral consequences after the Senate failed to pass the Clarity Act, which aimed to establish federal rules for digital assets.
• The group plans to use senators' votes on the bill to inform their 'lawmaker scorecards' and mobilize crypto voters ahead of the November midterms.
• The failure to advance the bill highlights ongoing disagreements regarding oversight between the SEC and CFTC, and includes concerns from banking groups about stablecoin rewards.

Crypto voters prioritize candidates’ stances ahead of midterms, but the numbers tell two very different stories

• The crypto industry claims a significant voting bloc is motivated by digital asset policy, but independent polls suggest this influence is vastly overestimated.
• Despite low voter interest, crypto Political Action Committees are heavily funding campaigns, spending $189 million in the 2026 electoral cycle.
• The effectiveness of this spending hinges on whether pro-crypto candidates are elected and prioritize the industry's agenda, creating market uncertainty.
