Pro-Crypto Candidates Win 241 Seats, SWC Tally Shows

The scorecard identifies potential allies, not a voting bloc: disagreements over banking risks and customer protections still cloud the CLARITY Act's path.

Pro-Crypto Candidates Win 241 Seats, SWC Tally Shows

Stand With Crypto counted 222 House winners and 19 Senate winners it rates pro-crypto in its Nov. 4 election scorecard, for 241 across both chambers. The tally also listed 106 House winners and eight Senate winners rated anti-crypto. SWC said the results were unofficial pending certification, with 384 of 435 House races and 33 of 35 Senate races called at the time of its 9 a.m. ET update.

The ratings belong to the advocacy group and do not establish support for a particular bill. SWC did not provide a party breakdown of its pro-crypto winners, and the counts do not account for every called race.

Why it matters

The scorecard offers crypto advocates a measure of the candidates they consider favorable to the industry, but it is not a count of votes for the CLARITY Act. Among the named winners, SWC identified Mark Messmer and Riley Moore as CLARITY co-sponsors, and Eugene Vindman as a supporter of CLARITY and the GENIUS Act. The group said Janelle Stelson had expressed support for both bills.

The House clerk's record shows Messmer, Moore and Vindman voted for CLARITY when the House passed it 294-134 in July 2025. That vote included 216 Republicans and 78 Democrats. Those historical votes and candidate positions offer context, but they do not prove how a new Congress would vote.

Market impact

The election tally signals potential political support for crypto legislation, not enactment or a timetable. CLARITY previously failed a Senate procedural hurdle in September amid disputes over banking risks, stablecoin rewards and customer protections. Those disagreements remain unresolved, leaving the bill's prospects dependent on negotiations rather than the scorecard alone.
