According to CoinDesk, as the U.S. midterm elections heat up, cryptocurrency industry political action committees (PACs) are significantly increasing their financial support for congressional races. Some newly formed PACs are shifting their focus toward Republican candidates. The report notes that Fairshake remains the most influential super PAC in the industry, having already influenced primary outcomes in states like Texas through large-scale spending—and contributing to the defeat of long-time critic, Representative Al Green. Meanwhile, newer PACs such as Fellowship and the Digital Freedom Fund are backing Republican candidates more heavily, potentially undermining the bipartisan balance the crypto industry has maintained across several previous election cycles.
Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that pro-crypto Democratic candidate Christian Menefee defeated 20-year incumbent Representative Al Green in the TX-18 Democratic primary runoff. In this election, crypto-industry-backed super PACs spent millions of dollars—Fairshake and its affiliated organizations alone contributed approximately $6.5 million, mostly to support Menefee and a smaller portion to oppose Green. Previously, Green received an “F” rating from Stand With Crypto due to his opposition to legislation including the GENIUS Act and the Clarity Act. Fairshake stated it will continue actively supporting leaders like Menefee across the United States.
