Chainlink and Anchorage Digital Support Launch of Blockchain Leadership Fund PAC Ahead of US Midterms

Chainlink Labs and Anchorage Digital announced they are founding contributors to the Blockchain Leadership Fund, a hybrid political action committee created to support candidates advancing digital asset and blockchain policy in the United States. The PAC allows both direct contributions to candidates and independent expenditures such as media campaigns.

Although neither company disclosed specific funding amounts, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed no listed contributions between the PAC’s creation in September and Dec. 31. An Anchorage spokesperson confirmed the company intends to make a “meaningful contribution,” which will be reported to the FEC.

Crypto Policy Push Builds Ahead of November Elections

The PAC launch comes roughly seven months before the Nov. 3 midterm elections that will determine control of the House of Representatives and Senate, both required to pass major crypto legislation. These include the GENIUS Act payment stablecoin bill and the CLARITY Act, currently under Senate consideration.

Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley has held regular discussions with lawmakers on market structure reforms. The move follows the 2024 elections, when crypto-backed PACs supported more than 270 pro-crypto candidates and raised substantial funding for campaign efforts.
