The crypto political advocacy group Stand With Crypto is gearing up to make a significant impact on the upcoming U.S. elections by rallying cryptocurrency enthusiasts in key battleground states. The group, which has garnered over a million online signups from crypto supporters, is launching a multi-state tour to drive voter turnout among digital asset advocates.
The tour kicks off in Arizona on September 4, featuring U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema and a leading Republican state legislator, Travis Grantham. The events will also showcase prominent figures from the crypto industry. After Arizona, Stand With Crypto will travel to other crucial swing states, including Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, to boost voter engagement and encourage pro-crypto votes.
Stand With Crypto’s mission is to mobilize the large and passionate community of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, many of whom are already politically active. The group aims to use campaign-style tactics to convert their online engagement into real-world voting power. In Arizona alone, they’ve attracted nearly 27,000 signups, with over 80% of these individuals believed to be registered voters.
This initiative reflects a broader trend of increasing political engagement from the crypto industry, which has been working to influence policy and candidate choices. The group’s efforts come at a time when key election races are expected to be extremely close, with crypto-related issues potentially swaying undecided voters.
The group’s focus on battleground states is strategic, given the narrow margins that often decide these elections. For instance, in 2020, the difference between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in Arizona was less than 11,000 votes. Stand With Crypto’s push could play a pivotal role in these tight races.
