The cryptocurrency industry's largest political action committee spends US$30 million to block Brown's candidacy.
According to the New York Times reported on September 21, Fairshake, the cryptocurrency industry's largest political action committee (PAC), decided to invest up to US$30 million to prevent former Senator Sherrod Brown from returning to the Senate. The large-scale campaign is aimed at the special U.S. Senate election held in Ohio in November this year.
During the 2024 U.S. election, the super political action committee invested $40 million in Brown to confront it. Now, Fairshake is once again increasing its investment, demonstrating its strong influence in key elections.
Who is Sherrod Brown?
Brown is a member of the Democratic Party and served as the U.S. Senate from Ohio from 2007 to 2025. During his tenure, he served as chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. However, he lost his 2024 re-election bid and failed to win a fourth Senate term to Republican candidate Bernie Moreno, and Fairshake's intervention played a role in the process.
布朗对数字资产持高度批评态度。凭借其参议院银行委员会主席的身份,他确保没有任何重大的加密货币立法得以推进。在他落选后,共和党人蒂姆·斯科特(Tim Scott)被任命为该委员会主席。在他的推动下,《引导和确立美国稳定币国家创新法案》(GENIUS Act)得以签署成为法律,并顺利通过。同一委员会也在《数字资产市场清晰法案》(Digital Asset Market Clarity Act)的通过中发挥了关键作用,尽管该法案最终未获成功。
上周,由于该法案未能获得所需的60票支持,参议院未能推进《清晰法案》(CLARITY Act)。共有49名参议员——包括所有民主党人和部分共和党人——投了反对票。
加密货币行业深知,尽管民主党人在参议院处于少数地位,但他们仍是一个不可忽视的力量。业界担心,如果失去共和党的多数席位,将对行业造成不利影响。
业界尤其关注布朗重返参议院的可能性,即便他无法再次担任参议院银行委员会主席。目前,伊丽莎白·沃伦(Elizabeth Warren)是该委员会的最高级别民主党人。
加密货币与政治:巨额资金涌入中期选举
Fairshake投入3000万美元阻击布朗参选,是本届中期选举中针对单一候选人的最昂贵竞选活动。俄亥俄州的选举定于11月3日举行。
在这场选举中,获胜者将完成JD·万斯(JD Vance)在2022年赢得的任期。万斯于2025年辞职,出任副总统。现任竞争者为布朗与共和党提名人乔恩·赫斯特德(Jon Husted)。
随着特朗普和马斯克纷纷向中期选举注入资金,加密货币行业也积极参与其中。Ripple、Coinbase等巨头在2026年11月中期选举前夕花费数百万美元,Ripple联合创始人也计划投入350万美元支持纽约州民主党候选人。这标志着行业历史上最大规模的单笔候选人资助行动。
