Crypto PAC Backed by Anchorage, Chainlink Endorses 10 Candidates for 2026 Midterms
The Blockchain Leadership Fund, a hybrid PAC backed by Anchorage Digital and Chainlink, has endorsed ten candidates for US Senate and House races across seven states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
A crypto-focused political action committee backed by Anchorage Digital and Chainlink has announced its endorsements for the 2026 midterm elections, throwing support behind ten candidates across seven US states.
The Blockchain Leadership Fund, a hybrid PAC that can both raise unlimited funds and directly contribute to campaigns, endorsed candidates for Senate and House races. Federal Election Commission filings show only $175,000 in contributions so far, but the PAC could amplify its influence through media buys before key elections. Many of the endorsed candidates have already benefited from other crypto PAC spending in previous cycles.
For cryptocurrency and digital asset traders, this development underscores the growing political engagement of the crypto industry. PACs like the Blockchain Leadership Fund aim to elect lawmakers favorable to blockchain innovation, which could shape future regulatory clarity for digital assets.

Looking ahead, the effectiveness of these endorsements will be tested in the 2026 primaries and general election. The relatively modest initial contributions suggest the PAC may scale up spending as the election cycle progresses. Traders should monitor FEC filings for larger donations and media buys that could signal shifting political winds for crypto regulation.
