The crypto industry has invested over $200 million in the 2026 midterm elections to pressure Congress into establishing industry-favorable regulations. Fairshake and its affiliated Super PACs support 33 House candidates and have injected at least $1 million into the campaigns of six key House representatives. Coinbase contributed $25 million to Fairshake's midterm election efforts in 2025, with Ripple also donating $25 million in the same year. The industry hopes to replicate its 2024 success, when Super PACs spent $250 million to elect crypto-friendly lawmakers. Currently, the Ohio Senate election is a focal point, with Fairshake having spent $55 million opposing crypto critic Sherrod Brown.
