Stand With Crypto reports that out of 107 politicians running against cryptocurrency, 226 have been elected to the House of Representatives.

Ohio’s Pro-Crypto Victory: Moreno Wins with Major Industry Backing

During the US election, the crypto sector strongly supported Moreno, who has been a vocal proponent of cryptocurrency. His campaign received $40.1 million from the crypto-supporting super PAC, Defend American Jobs. In response to this news, the Super PAC made the following statement:

“Elizabeth Warren ally Sherrod Brown was a top opponent of cryptocurrency and thanks to our efforts, he will be leaving the Senate. Senator-Elect Moreno’s come-from-behind win shows that Ohio voters want a leader who prioritizes innovation, protects American economic interests, and will ensure our nation’s continued technological leadership.”

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, Chris Dixon, and Fred Ehrsam were among the prominent crypto industry personalities who contributed $54,600 to Moreno's campaign, in addition to the assistance of Super PAC. Following Donald Trump's campaign pledge, these Republicans and other crypto politicians will set out to establish the United States as the global leader in cryptocurrency.

Senator Ted Cruz Secures Reelection with Bitcoin PAC Support

Also, according to the Fox News Decision Desk, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has won reelection over Democratic Congressman Colin Allred.

Two other Democratic representatives who voted in favor of cryptocurrency—Ritchie Torres and Dan Goldman—also won their races. With $150,853 for Goldman and $110,148 for Torres, the crypto-friendly super PAC Protect Progress made a substantial contribution.

Crypto Leaders React to Victory of Pro-Crypto Candidates

The developments in the US election, including the victory of numerous pro-crypto politicians, were met with celebration by top veterans of the crypto business. "To everyone who doubted it: the crypto voter is here to stay, loud and clear!" stated Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, to those who questioned it. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, also wrote:

“Tonight the crypto voter has spoken decisively – across party lines and in key races across the country. Americans disproportionately care about crypto and want clear rules of the road for digital assets. We look forward to working with the new Congress to deliver it”.

However, Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal sent a note to the US SEC, describing the crypto voters' desire for a change. “Stop suing crypto. Start talking to crypto. Initiate rulemaking now. There’s no reason to wait,” he said.
