Stand With Crypto counts over 300 pro-crypto lawmakers entering Congress
Stand With Crypto is counting more than 300 pro-crypto lawmakers heading into the next Congress, up from about 96 in 2023, its executive director Mason Lynaugh said, calling it a pro-crypto majority.
The group's race tracker showed 29 of its 45 endorsed candidates winning. Lynaugh pointed to Darren Soto's roughly 1,400-vote win in Florida's 9th district, where Stand With Crypto counts 11,000 advocates, and said the group genuinely thinks crypto voters moved that election.
Lynaugh also cited 77,000 advocates in Ohio and said the group is pressing to get allies onto Senate Banking. He argued there is no political upside in an anti-crypto army and said public statements will be the first real test of the new lineup.
He pointed to states taking leadership on bitcoin reserves and to a grassroots network he described as an army, including in fights over data centres. The figures are the advocacy group's own counts and characterisations, not official election results.
