Fairshake Plans to Spend $30 Million Against Sherrod Brown

Odaily reports: The U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act on September 15 with a vote of 49 in favor and 50 against, and with limited remaining legislative sessions before Congress's 2027 term, the bill's chances of passage have diminished.

Fairshake, a political action committee backed by Coinbase and Ripple Labs, plans to spend $30 million in the Ohio Senate race to oppose Sherrod Brown. Fairshake spent over $130 million on advertising during the 2024 election cycle and approximately $41 million opposing Brown.

Stand With Crypto, an advocacy group launched by Coinbase in 2023, said it will mobilize supporters to participate in the 2026 midterm elections based on lawmakers' voting records on the bill. As of Monday, Fairshake and its affiliated political action committees had not disclosed any new spending following the vote. (Cointelegraph)
