According to a report by Americans for Financial Reform, the crypto-backed political group Defend American Jobs spent over $55 million between September 21 and October 26 to support Republican Jon Husted and oppose Sherrod Brown. Husted previously voted in favor of the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish clearer federal rules for cryptocurrencies. The US midterm elections, held on November 3, will determine control of Congress for the next two years.
