Catenaa, Thursday, November 26, 2025- Stand With Crypto sent a new survey to federal candidates this week as the advocacy group prepares to identify contenders who support policies affecting digital assets before the 2026 midterm elections.
The questionnaire asks candidates to detail their views on crypto innovation, de-banking concerns, mining rules, zoning questions, consumer protections and access issues.
The group said it wants clarity on how office seekers would approach digital asset policy in the next Congress. Leaders noted that the chamber elected in 2026 will influence the direction of U.S. crypto rules, including questions tied to growth, market access and industry oversight.
The organization plans to publish responses early next year.
Stand With Crypto formed in 2023 with backing from Coinbase and has since built a scorecard that rates lawmakers on their positions toward the crypto sector.
The group’s website describes its effort to rally crypto owners into a single voting bloc and track how elected officials address digital asset rules.
Its grades range from A to F and have become a reference point for industry observers.
The organization has not said which candidates it may support in 2026. It is also unclear how much weight its ratings or endorsements could hold in a national election cycle.
The survey marks one of its earliest moves ahead of the races and signals that the group wants to set expectations before new campaigns begin to take shape.
The results will form the basis of its outreach to voters ahead of the midterms.
