Stand With Crypto has endorsed candidates for both the House and the Senate in the next US Congress. Coinbase launched the group in 2023 to push for what it describes as clear, common-sense rules for the crypto industry. Cointelegraph reported the endorsements on September 30, 2026, in an article written by Turner Wright.
The endorsements come ahead of the US midterm elections. Cointelegraph reports that many polls show Democrats favored to win back control of both chambers in 2027.
The material available to us does not name the candidates or say which parties they belong to. It also does not say how many candidates were endorsed or how the group chose them. We will not fill in those details until they are published.
For anyone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. An endorsement list does not set funding rates, trading fees or order-book liquidity on any of these exchanges. Nothing in the report ties it to those costs.
