Coinbase commits $25 million to Fairshake, enhancing crypto advocacy and aiming to mobilize 4 million supporters ahead of the 2026 elections.
Today, Coinbase has made significant commitments to support the crypto community. They announced plans to donate $25 million to Fairshake and its affiliates in 2025. Additionally, Coinbase aims to help Stand with Crypto increase its membership to 4 million advocates ahead of the 2026 Midterm Elections. As a result, these initiatives aim to amplify the voices of the 52 million Americans who own crypto.
According to the blog post, Coinbase supports Stand with Crypto and Fairshake. Stand with Crypto is the first national grassroots advocacy organization for the crypto sector. On the other hand, Fairshake is the largest nonpartisan super PAC in the crypto space. Coinbase currently holds the view that innovation is capable of enhancing democracy. They claimed that America set the rules for disruptive technologies in the past. Crypto is another form of innovation that provides employment opportunities and raises the nation’s security.
As a platform initiated by the belief that crypto represents a path to economic liberty, Coinbase has built a three-pronged approach. First, they help policymakers understand the possibilities of using crypto as the new internet generation. Second, they also enable crypto owners by promoting local organizations that would fight for the representation of their interests in Washington. Last but not least, they engage with industry partners using Fairshake to turn out crypto voters during key elections.
Coinbase Commits $25 Million to Support Pro-Crypto Candidates Ahead of 2026
Within a year, Stand with Crypto has gained over 1.8 million supporters. These supporters have acted particularly during specific legislative processes. For instance, two weeks before the launch of a consumer protection framework, Stand with Crypto received 400,000 new supporters. According to the campaign, more than 30,000 people reached out to Congress members the week before the vote.
Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, pointed out that the outcome of the current election would be the most favorable for the industry Congress ever. He stressed that the movement will not stop after the elections. The $25 million Coinbase has pledged will be spent on funding the campaigns of pro-crypto candidates before the 2026 Midterms.
As of now, both political parties are starting to understand the significance of the crypto voter. This demographic now understands that they need to advocate for clear rules and create jobs to gain its support. The objectives of these collective actions are to get a Congress that will be favorable to the crypto industry and minimize the influence of anti-crypto politicians.
Coinbase is dedicated to ensuring the crypto community remains influential. It believes that continued mobilization can disrupt negative narratives and foster bipartisan support for crypto. As Coinbase moves forward, it remains committed to protecting its customers’ rights and advancing sensible legislation in the U.S. and beyond.
