Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, celebrated the election results as a significant win for crypto and economic freedom, pointing to key developments that reflect a surge in political backing for digital assets. “No matter how you slice it, this election was a huge win for crypto,” Armstrong wrote in a post on X. Additionally, 257 pro-crypto candidates were elected to the House of Representatives across both parties.
Looking ahead, Coinbase and venture firm A16Z have provided additional funding to Fairshake, which now has $78 million allocated for the 2026 midterms. The StandWithCrypto advocacy group, currently with 1.9 million supporters, aims to reach 4 million advocates by 2026 and expand internationally.
