Crypto Spends $176M on Midterms, but Only 13% of Voters Call It a Priority
- —$176M spent on 100+ races; Fairshake and affiliates account for $150.8M
- —Only 13% of voters rate crypto support as extremely or very important
- —35% prioritize keeping fintech builders in the U.S.; Republicans lead Democrats 45% to 30%
- —Ipsos polled 1,545 adults Sept. 8–16, margin of error ±2.8 points
Why it matters: The spending gap versus voter priorities raises questions about the industry's lobbying strategy after the CLARITY Act failed a key Senate vote.
