A crypto backed political action committee (PAC) supported by Anchorage Digital and Chainlink Labs has announced endorsements for the 2026 US midterm elections, signaling the industry’s continued push to shape digital asset policy through political influence.

The Blockchain Leadership Fund, launched in March, endorsed ten candidates across Senate and House races. The group said it aims to support lawmakers who favor responsible blockchain and digital asset regulation in the United States.

Crypto PAC Supports Republican and Democratic Candidates

The PAC endorsed Republican Senate candidates Barry Moore in Alabama, Kurt Alme in Montana and Jon Husted in Ohio. Democrat Angie Craig also received backing for her Minnesota Senate campaign.

Funding for Blockchain Leadership Fund: FEC

For House races, the committee supported Republicans Houston Gaines, Jim Kingston and Jon Bonck, along with Democrats Adrian Boafo, Christian Menefee and Don Davis.

Anchorage Digital said bipartisan participation is important to help the United States remain competitive in financial technology while building clearer crypto regulations and stronger trust in the sector.

Crypto Election Spending Grows Ahead of 2026 Midterms

Federal Election Commission filings showed the Blockchain Leadership Fund had raised $175,000 so far, including $100,000 from Anchorage and $75,000 from Chainlink.

Several endorsed candidates have already benefited from millions of dollars in advertising support from crypto aligned political groups, showing how digital asset firms are becoming increasingly active in shaping US elections before November’s high-stakes midterms.
