Pro-crypto candidates win election races across America

The 2024 United States elections have seen hundreds of pro-crypto candidates elected as results from across the nation continue to roll in. 

Data from SWC indicates that 247 pro-crypto candidates have been elected to the House of Representatives, compared to 113 anti-crypto officials. In the Senate, 15 pro-crypto candidates have been elected, while 10 anti-crypto candidates have secured seats.

Crypto’s over $200 million donations see results

Crypto advocates donated about $206 million to election campaigns, according to SWC. Of this, around $204 million went to Fairshake, a pro-crypto super Political Action Committee, while nearly $3 million was donated to SWC itself.

Moreno won with more than 2.8 million votes, or 50.2% of the total, while Brown received 2.5 million votes, or 46.4%.

The win adds a pro-crypto politician to the Senate and removes an anti-crypto voice. Brown has close ties to Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who has been a leading figure in US regulatory crackdowns on crypto businesses. 

In Montana, Tim Sheehy leads Jon Tester with over 247,000 votes to Tester’s 205,000. Sheehy is pro-crypto, while Tester has been rated neutral by SWC.  

In Pennsylvania, the race between Dave McCormick and Bob Casey is exceptionally close, with each candidate securing around 3.2 million votes. McCormick is pro-crypto, while Casey is graded as neutral.

In Wisconsin, the race between Tammy Baldwin and Eric Hovde is also tight, with both candidates receiving about 1.6 million votes. Baldwin is “strongly against crypto,” while Hovde has expressed some support for the industry.
