A new political action committee named Stand With Crypto has been launched to rally financial support for crypto-friendly politicians. 
With a membership base of over 440,000, the organization <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/crypto-group-with-440000-members-launches-pac-target-house-senate-elections-2024-05-10/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/crypto-group-with-440000-members-launches-pac-target-house-senate-elections-2024-05-10/" target="_blank" rel="">unveiled</a> its bipartisan endorsements for candidates running in the House of Representatives and Senate, signifying a united effort to advocate for the <a href="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/market-cap/" rel="">cryptocurrency</a> and blockchain industry. 
According to Federal Election Commission data, the political action committee (PAC) joins the broader effort of crypto super PACs such as Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress, collectively raising over $110 million in this election cycle.
