Crypto Industry Eye Midterms

It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street. Cryptocurrency voters could influence the November 3rd midterm elections, according to Mason Leinach, executive director of Stand with Crypto. In an October 23 interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Leinach said the organization has more than 3.1 million advocates and could sway closely contested congressional races. Leinach said cryptocurrency supporters could become decisive swing voters in closely contested elections. He noted that lawmakers receiving favorable crypto ratings increased from roughly 90 to 338 over three years and expressed optimism about bipartisan cryptocurrency legislation. Coinbase contributed $57.8 million to the election cycle, followed by Ripple at $49.6 million and crypto.com parent Forrest Dax at $39 million. The crypto-focused Fairshake Political Action Committee and its affiliates reportedly had nearly $95 million remaining ahead of the elections. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
