A political action committee aligned with the digital-asset industry plans to spend $30 million opposing Sherrod Brown in Ohio, according to Cointelegraph. The effort marks a renewed campaign against the former Ohio senator after digital-asset groups joined other organizations in spending more than $300 million combined during the 2024 Ohio Senate race. That campaign ended with Brown losing to Bernie Moreno. The planned spending places cryptocurrency industry-backed political activity back in focus in Ohio, where Brown has previously faced opposition from groups seeking to influence the state’s Senate contests. Cointelegraph reported the development on September 21, 2026. No further details about the timing or structure of the planned expenditure were provided in the source material.
