First Primary Battle: How Is the Crypto Industry Heavily Betting on the Continuation of Trump's Agenda?
The 2026 US midterm primary season begins, with crypto industry super PACs like Fairshake deploying over $288 million to influence key races in Texas, North Carolina, and Arkansas. Their goal is to elect pro-crypto candidates and secure a "pro-crypto Congress" to pass the stalled CLARITY Act, which aims to clarify SEC/CFTC regulatory roles and allow institutional crypto adoption.
In Texas, PACs are targeting anti-crypto Democrat Al Green while supporting opponents like Christian Menefee. Similar efforts are underway in North Carolina to unseat incumbents seen as obstacles. The industry is heavily aligned with Trump’s pro-crypto agenda, following his signing of the GENIUS Act for stablecoins in 2025.
With the CLARITY Act stuck in the Senate due to partisan disputes and election-year politics, crypto groups are spending heavily in primaries to ensure legislative support. The outcome could determine whether Trump’s crypto policies, like Bitcoin reserves and DeFi deregulation, move forward or face further delays.
