Catenaa, September 16, 2026- Coinbase-backed advocacy group Stand With Crypto will add senators’ votes on the failed CLARITY Act procedural motion to its public scorecards as it increases political activity ahead of the November midterm elections.
The group announced the move after the Senate voted 49-50 Tuesday against invoking cloture on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.
The legislation needed 60 votes to advance to debate.
Stand With Crypto Executive Director Mason Lynaugh said the organization would continue mobilizing its supporters and consider lawmakers’ positions on the bill as part of its election activity.
The group says it has about 3 million US advocates.
Stand With Crypto already maintains public scorecards tracking lawmakers’ positions and votes on cryptocurrency policy. It has also endorsed House candidates ahead of the November elections.
The organization said its supporters made nearly 50,000 calls or emails to members of Congress in August while lawmakers were negotiating the CLARITY Act.
The advocacy campaign has included local events and other efforts aimed at increasing pressure on senators.
Stand With Crypto was established with support from Coinbase and first became active in federal elections during the 2024 cycle.
Its growing political role reflects a wider increase in spending and voter mobilization by the cryptocurrency industry as Congress considers rules governing digital assets.
The CLARITY Act would establish a federal market structure for cryptocurrencies and define regulatory responsibilities for the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The House passed an earlier version, but Senate negotiations became divided over ethics provisions, stablecoin rewards, protections for software developers and other regulatory issues.
The September 15 vote does not necessarily end the legislation.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., changed his vote before the result was finalized and entered a motion to reconsider, preserving a procedural route for another vote.
However, lawmakers face a shrinking legislative calendar ahead of the November 3 elections.
If the Senate eventually passes a revised version, the House would still have to consider the changes.
Stand With Crypto said the CLARITY Act remains its main federal policy priority and that it will continue organizing supporters around the legislation.
The group’s decision to incorporate the vote into its scorecards moves the Senate setback directly into its 2026 election campaign, giving cryptocurrency policy a role in how it evaluates candidates before voters go to the polls.
