Crypto-Backed PAC Announces Endorsements for 2026 Midterms

A new player has entered the game of crypto-backed politics as the Blockchain Leadership Fund, a political action committee (PAC) backed by Anchorage and Chainlink, announces its endorsements for the 2026 US midterm elections.

The PAC's picks include ten candidates, four in the Senate and six in the House of Representatives. Among them are Republicans Barry Moore and Kurt Alme, as well as Democrats Angie Craig and Adrian Boafo. The committee will also support Christian Menefee and Don Davis for House races in Texas and North Carolina.

The Blockchain Leadership Fund's endorsements come after some of its chosen candidates won their respective primaries on Tuesday. Kingston and Gaines won Republican primaries in Georgia, and Moore will go to a runoff for Alabama's US Senate seat. The committee has only $175,000 in funding so far, with contributions from Anchorage ($100,000) and Chainlink ($75,000).

The PAC's goal is to support responsible innovation and constructive policymaking that brings digital assets further into the regulatory perimeter. As it stands, the Blockchain Leadership Fund will likely play a significant role in shaping the crypto industry's influence on US politics.
