The crypto advocacy group "Stand With Crypto" has surpassed 2.6 million members, becoming a key political player in the 2026 US election.

The digital asset advocacy organization "Stand With Crypto" added 675,000 new online members last year, bringing its total membership in the United States to approximately 2.6 million as the 2026 US congressional elections approach. A report shows that the organization has been organizing members to participate in political letter-writing activities to support cryptocurrency legislation in the United States, with 925,000 such letters expected in 2025, and over 1 million letters sent since its inception. The organization states that it currently has chapters in every state in the US and has organized four "fly-in" events to Washington, D.C., directly participating in policy-making. Coinbase founded the "Support Cryptocurrency Coalition" in 2023 and funded its initial activities; the company remains a partner and donor to the organization. Other companies such as Kraken, Gemini, Anchorage Digital, and Paradigm, as well as member donations, also support the organization. Polls over the past few years show that since the organization's inception, US voters have increasingly viewed cryptocurrency as a significant political issue influencing their opinions on candidates.
