A political action committee called the Blockchain Leadership Fund has officially endorsed ten candidates for the 2026 US midterm elections, showing how deeply the crypto industry is entering American politics. Backed by companies like Chainlink Labs and Anchorage Digital, the PAC says it wants to support candidates who promote digital asset and blockchain policies in the United States.

The endorsements span both Republicans and Democrats, highlighting how crypto lobbying is becoming increasingly bipartisan. Although the committee currently reports only $175,000 in direct funding, many of its supported candidates have already benefited from millions of dollars in media spending from larger crypto-affiliated PACs, proving the industry’s political influence continues to expand ahead of the elections.
