在 2024 年美國大選取得成功後，加密貨幣業正強化資金實力，為 2026 年中期選舉蓄勢。根據美國聯邦選舉委員會（FEC）文件及公開聲明，數家專注加密貨幣領域的超級政治行動委員會（Super PAC），正集結約 2.63 億美元的競選資金。依據 OpenSecrets 數據，此規模幾乎是其中最大組織 Fairshake 在 2024 年動用資金的兩倍，且略高於整個石油與天然氣業在同一選舉週期的總支出。

自 2024 年投入钜資以來，隨著共和黨在國會兩院均取得多數席位，議員們已通過該產業支持的法案，並確認多位立場友善的監管官員出任要職。上週，此類影響力再度顯現 —— 當時美國總統唐納德・川普赦免了加密貨幣交易所幣安（Binance）聯合創始人趙長鵬（CZ）。這位高階主管先前在拜登政府時期，因違反美國反洗錢法認罪，並被判刑四個月。

立法層面的勝利 —— 以及川普家族對加密貨幣的擁抱 —— 正促使部分新成立的超級政治行動委員會脫離過去的戰略，更堅定地支持共和黨，這可能有助於該黨持續掌控國會。

After achieving success in the 2024 U.S. elections, the cryptocurrency industry is strengthening its financial firepower to gear up for the 2026 midterm elections. According to documents from the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) and public statements, several crypto-focused super political action committees (super PACs) are rallying approximately $263 million in campaign funds. Data from OpenSecrets shows that this scale is nearly twice the amount spent by Fairshake — the largest organization among them — in 2024, and slightly higher than the total expenditure of the entire oil and gas industry during the same election cycle.  

Since making heavy investments in 2024, with Republicans gaining majorities in both houses of Congress, lawmakers have passed bills supported by the crypto industry and confirmed the appointments of several regulatory officials with friendly stances to key positions. Last week, this influence was demonstrated again when U.S. President Donald Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao (CZ), co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance. The executive had pleaded guilty to violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws during the Biden administration and was sentenced to four months in prison.  

These legislative victories — coupled with the Trump family’s embrace of cryptocurrency — are prompting some newly established super PACs to diverge from previous strategies and more firmly back Republicans, which may help the party maintain control of Congress.
