Crypto political group details list of U.S. congressional allies its backing this year

Stand With Crypto, an advocacy group established by American crypto exchange Coinbase that has since drawn more than 3 million online U.S. members, announced 32 more lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives it's throwing its support behind in this year's midterm elections.

Among the bipartisan list are prominent leaders in Congress' most recent crypto push, including House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson and Bryan Steil, the Republican who leads the digital assets subcommittee within the House Financial Services Committee.

But if the political tide continues to shift toward Democrats, that party could end up with the majority (and the committee chairs) in the House after the November elections. And Stand With Crypto, which openly grades political candidates on their crypto support, is also endorsing such well-placed Democrats as Jim Costa, who ranks highly in the House Agriculture Committee's minority party and could be a contender for the chairmanship.
