<p>The newest national Political Action Committee (PAC) is called Stand With Crypto. They are powered by a crypto non-profit membership of over 440,000. This goal is an extension of the initiatives taken by the lobbyist group to promote politicians who support cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.</p>
<p>The PAC strives to make a difference in Congressional elections by promoting members of both parties who dare to prove they will belong to the living ones who care about their constituents. As part of the coalition of<a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/crypto-firms-targets-katie-senate-race/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> crypto super PAC</a>s that consists of Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress. In total, we have raised more than $100 million for this election cycle, per Federal Election Commission records. We are proud to join forces with all of you in the ongoing fight for our country and the good of our people.</p>
<p>Adding the Stand With Crypto initiative to the industry’s political footprint makes a step forward, as one of its missions is to increase the crypto presence and influence on local and national elections. These major financial firms that are embarking on offering crypto services are now entering the industry after several years of suspicion and investigation following the conviction of FTX founder<a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/ftx-founder-sam-bankman-appeals-25-year/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Sam Bankman-Fried </a>on the charges of misappropriation. Regardless of such disputes, patrons of the PAC are ready to energize citizens who proclaim that they will take care of the interests of crypto users and supporters.</p>

<p>Stand with Crypto has put together a program aimed at supporting different candidates from various political parties who are pro-crypto and, therefore, will be favorable for future legislation. The endorser acknowledges Jim Banks, who’s running for a Senate seat in Indiana, and Jim Justice, who’s also running for a Senate seat in West Virginia.</p>
<p>From the Democratic party, Shomari Figures is the challenger for the seat in Alabama’s Second District and Edy Morales is the hopeful for the seat in Oregon’s Third District. Moreover, another Republican, Troy Downing, is running in Montana’s Second District Elections. These candidates have made known their inclination towards the development of safety and successful cryptocurrency administrations.</p>

This approach is the beginning of a more elaborate plan to elect crypto-friendly members of Parliament to eliminate the industry’s weakness in shaping policy-making because crypto-friendly politicians are supposed to be harmonious with the crypto industry. Each party election has its fair share of influence on the crypto and blockchain sector, not only on the parties involved but also on the larger aspect of the political sphere.</p>

<p>The crypto industry’s mark on political campaigns is becoming more and more obvious. Stand With Crypto’s attempts happen to be evidence of some successes from other crypto super PACs in the current election race. As an illustration, the Defend American Jobs PAC appropriately marked wins in the Indiana primaries where its endorsed candidates, including Jim Banks and Mark Messmer, were victorious. Such successes illustrate the magnitude of support and endorsement from the groups supporting the blockchain, which is also cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>The proactive engagement on the part of these PACs demonstrates the industry’s dedication to creating an environment that encourages the growth and general adoption of cryptocurrencies. Ultimately, with the ongoing election season, the use of cryptocurrency in financing and manipulating political campaigns is probably going to be the center of attention.</p>
