Five crypto-focused super PACs reported $168.1 million in outside spending during the 2025-2026 election cycle, backing or opposing 78 winning candidates. Among them, 57 are returning to the same chamber, five are moving from the House to the Senate, three are former members returning and 13 are entering Congress for the first time; the group is evenly split between 39 Democrats and 39 Republicans. Maryland’s Adrian Boafo and Georgia’s Jasmine Clark received the most support among the newcomers, with $5 million and $4 million respectively. The Ohio campaign accounted for $64.05 million in spending for Jon Husted and against Sherrod Brown, who ultimately won the seat, representing 38.1% of the total reviewed. The election results bring experienced lawmakers into negotiations over digital-asset markets, stablecoin rules and taxation, while leaving unresolved disagreements over ethics requirements and regulatory authority.
