Stand With Crypto is making a final push to influence the US congressional midterm elections on November 3, arguing that crypto-focused voters could help determine control of Congress and shape digital-asset policy for years.
The advocacy group’s executive director, Mason Lynaugh, said the organization now has 3.1 million advocates, 50 state chapters and 47 college chapters. It has also endorsed 45 candidates. According to Bitcoin Magazine, Lynaugh described the campaign as an effort to build what he expects could become the most pro-Bitcoin Congress in US history, regardless of which party wins.
Why crypto voters matter in close races
The group’s argument centers on turnout rather than simply the number of people who support digital assets. Lynaugh characterized crypto voters as a low-propensity swing bloc: people who may not vote consistently but could become important targets for campaigns competing in close contests.
Stand With Crypto has created a voter hub that brings together information on registration, state deadlines and candidates’ positions on crypto. The organization says this infrastructure is intended to help advocates participate in the election and make their views known to candidates.
Lynaugh also pointed to the scale of the group’s organizing effort in individual states and on college campuses. His comments framed congressional contests as races where differences of hundreds of votes can matter, while organized networks of tens of thousands of advocates may give the issue greater visibility.
Policy stakes and bipartisan support
The discussion highlighted two pieces of legislation as evidence that crypto policy has become a congressional issue with support extending across party lines: the Clarity Act and the GENIUS Act. Lynaugh cited the involvement of 100 Democrats in the Clarity Act and referred to the GENIUS Act vote as another sign of bipartisan engagement.
He also said the number of lawmakers receiving an A rating from the organization had risen from 90 to 338 over three years. The rating figures were presented as part of Stand With Crypto’s assessment of lawmakers’ positions on digital assets.
The organization is also focused on lawmakers it considers unsupportive of crypto. Lynaugh described a strategy built around political accountability—supporting officials who back the sector and organizing against those who oppose it. The program discussed both volunteer phone calls and Fair Shake’s reported $95 million spending, contrasting grassroots activity with large-scale political expenditure.
Market picture

Other listed assets showed mixed performance. Plasma was at $0.0746665431, down 4.86% in 24 hours and 9.02% over seven days. RedStone stood at $0.1488649903, up 5.81% over 24 hours and 4.29% over seven days.

The election campaign comes as crypto advocates continue pressing lawmakers on legislation and regulation. Lynaugh’s remarks also linked crypto organizing with potential alliances among artificial-intelligence advocates, while acknowledging disappointment surrounding the Clarity Act and debate over the rollout of the GENIUS Act. The organization’s stated objective is to turn that policy interest into voter participation before November 3.
