Fairshake, the pro-crypto super PAC that significantly influenced the U.S. elections in November 2024, has raised over $116 million for the midterm elections in 2026. Notable backers include prominent firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase, and Ripple, along with additional investments from Uniswap's creator and Robert Leshner of Compound. This funding effort aims to solidify the crypto industry's strong political foothold after its recent policy successes in Washington. Fairshake's financial power for 2026 marks a historical shift, well surpassing the previous record for a corporate group in midterm elections, which was $18 million by the National Association of Realtors in 2022. Despite the large sums being spent, the returns for these companies, such as Ripple, who have seen significant increases in their cryptocurrency valuations, highlight the potential benefits of their political investments. The PAC emphasizes its commitment to maintaining influence in a rapidly changing political landscape, understanding that the stakes for the crypto industry are higher than ever.
