The emergence of digital currencies has sparked significant interest, leading organizations like Stand With Crypto to engage voters and candidates ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections.
In a recent communication dated November 24, the organization announced the deployment of a candidate questionnaire aimed at both federal and state candidates.
Key Focus Areas in the Questionnaire
The survey covers a wide variety of crucial topics. Candidates will be asked about:
- Their support for private ownership of cryptocurrencies.
- Access to banking services for digital currency enterprises.
- Opinions on mining practices and zoning regulations for crypto operations.
- Their stance on consumer protection laws related to digital assets.
Furthermore, the questionnaire probes whether candidates have engaged with cryptocurrencies personally, such as buying or selling Bitcoin. This information is expected to inform voters about candidates’ positions on crypto-related issues.

Assessment of Politicians’ Positions on Crypto
Stand With Crypto plans to evaluate each candidate based on their questionnaire responses, assigning a letter grade that ranges from A to F. An A indicates robust support for cryptocurrency, while an F denotes opposition.
With an estimated 52 million crypto enthusiasts in the United States, these grades will serve as vital information for voters. The organization itself boasts over 2.6 million advocates across the nation.
The grading outcomes are expected to be published in early 2026, helping the organization shape its voter outreach strategies.
The Role of Industry Support in Advocacy
Stand With Crypto was initiated with support from major players like Coinbase, a partnership that has contributed to the organization’s rapid growth and influence over crypto-related policies.
Previous election cycles have shown how this resource can be harnessed to amplify the visibility of pro-crypto candidates and to energize grassroots movements in key electoral races.
The Potential Impact on Political Landscapes
This initiative is noteworthy as it consolidates a large, organized group of voters. With a substantial number of Americans invested in cryptocurrency, candidates may be incentivized to clearly outline their positions on related issues.
However, the extent of the group’s influence in tightly contested elections remains uncertain. The organization intends to focus its efforts on pivotal battlegrounds, tailoring its outreach based on the responses gathered from the survey.
