Crypto Advocacy Group Announces Midterm Endorsements After Clarity Act Failure
Image: DecryptCoinbase-backed crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto announced bipartisan Senate and House candidate endorsements roughly a month before the 2026 US midterms, two weeks after the Clarity Act failed a 49-50 Senate vote. The group plans to ramp up advertising in six House campaigns. Separately, crypto market prices rose in the weeks following the Clarity Act vote, per Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan.
Key points
- The U.S. Senate rejected the Clarity Act in a 49-50 vote.
- Coinbase backs the crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto.
- Stand With Crypto announced bipartisan midterm candidate endorsements weeks after the Clarity Act failed.
Why it matters
The group's endorsements and political spending aim to shape future US crypto policy by supporting pro-crypto candidates. The Clarity Act's failure left the 2025 GENIUS Act as the governing stablecoin regulatory framework.
What's unclear
It is unclear whether the Clarity Act will be reintroduced in future congressional sessions
The exact total number of 2026 candidates endorsed by Stand With Crypto is not disclosed in the reports
