Stand With Crypto Counts 241 Pro-Crypto Winners in Unofficial Election Scorecard

Stand With Crypto counted 222 House winners and 19 Senate winners it rates as "pro-crypto" in its Nov. 4 election scorecard, according to the advocacy group's results page. The tally was marked updated at 9 a.m. ET and showed 384 of 435 House races and 33 of 35 Senate races called.

The group's results page also listed 106 House winners and eight Senate winners it rated "anti-crypto." Stand With Crypto credits Decision Desk HQ for results and says they remain unofficial until certified. The pro-crypto and anti-crypto totals are smaller than the number of called races displayed for each chamber.

Ratings count winners, not votes on CLARITY

The scorecard measures SWC-rated candidates winning races, not a new congressional vote on the CLARITY Act. The group's headline scorecard does not give a party breakdown of the pro-crypto winners or establish support for a particular legislative text, and it cannot establish enactment or a timetable.

SWC's ratings are its own classifications rather than neutral designations or future votes. The Senate counts cover election races, not all sitting senators.

Named winners include CLARITY backers

In a congratulatory thread, Stand With Crypto highlighted endorsed candidates it said had won their races. The account congratulated Mark Messmer on winning Indiana's 8th District and described him as a co-sponsor of the CLARITY Act. It also said Riley Moore won West Virginia's 2nd District and described the endorsed representative as a co-sponsor.

The House clerk's roll call records both Messmer and Moore voting yes when the House passed CLARITY on July 17, 2025.

SWC also congratulated Eugene Vindman in Virginia's 7th District, saying he had backed both CLARITY and the GENIUS Act. Vindman likewise appears as a yes vote on the July 2025 House roll call. For Pennsylvania's 10th District, the account said Janelle Stelson had won and had expressed support for CLARITY and GENIUS.

The House passed the 2025 CLARITY vote 294-134, with 216 Republicans and 78 Democrats voting yes, according to the clerk. That historical breakdown shows cross-party support in the chamber.

Banking and customer-protection disputes remain

The two sets of numbers describe how representatives voted on a bill in 2025 and which candidates the advocacy group says won the election in 2026. CryptoSlate reported before the election that CLARITY had failed a Senate procedural hurdle in September amid disagreements involving banking risks, stablecoin rewards and customer protections.

SWC's named winners include lawmakers with recorded support for CLARITY and a candidate who expressed support for it, but those positions do not settle the outstanding banking and customer-protection disagreements.

Associated Press reported at 6:26 a.m. GMT that Democrats had won the House and unified control of Congress. In a Nov. 4 quote post, CEO of Yap Global Otto Jacobsson argued that voters had favored crypto while turning against AI infrastructure, writing: "America still loves crypto, but hates the physical manifestation of AI."
