Crypto’s New Plaything: 2026 Candidates Under the Microscope 🚨

by

Ah, the ever-enthusiastic Stand With Crypto, that tireless band of crypto enthusiasts, has taken it upon themselves to quiz 2026 candidates. 🚨 A noble cause, no doubt-though one wonders if they’ve considered a career in espionage. 💸

According to their November 24 press release, the questionnaire has been sent to both federal and state hopefuls, as if they were handing out party invitations to a very serious gala. 🎩

What The Survey Asks

The list of topics is as broad as a politician’s smile and as simple as a child’s riddle. Candidates are being asked if they support your right to hoard digital assets like a medieval dragon, how they view banking access for crypto firms (a question as clear as mud), and their stance on mining-because nothing says “progress” like zoning rules for Bitcoin. 🤔

The survey also asks whether the candidate has ever bought, sold, or used Bitcoin or blockchain tools. Reports suggest they’ll use these answers to paint a public portrait of each candidate’s crypto IQ-though we’re not sure if it’s a portrait or a caricature. 🎨

SWC Says It Will Grade Candidates

Based on responses, SWC will bestow letter grades from A to F, where A is “Crypto’s Best Friend” and F is “Crypto’s Worst Enemy.” 🎓 The group’s audience? A staggering 52 million crypto owners, who are presumably all as passionate about policy as they are about their NFTs. 🎉

The results are slated to be posted in early 2026, and the group says it will use the findings to guide its outreach and voter mobilization. One can only imagine the drama when a candidate’s F grade is revealed. 🎭

How Industry Backing Shapes The Effort

SWC was launched with backing from Coinbase, no less, this group has grown faster than a crypto meme on a Saturday night. 🚀 That link helps explain how the platform has grown quickly and why its ratings matter to industry groups and voters who follow crypto policy. 📈

Reports have pointed out that the tool has been used in recent cycles to highlight pro-crypto candidates and to channel grassroots energy into targeted races. Because nothing says “democracy” like a well-organized campaign. 🗳️

What This Could Mean For Politics

This move is as significant as a well-timed tweet in a political campaign. 📱 With tens of millions of Americans holding crypto and a few million signed up with Stand With Crypto, candidates may feel pressure to state their positions clearly-unless they’re too busy debating the merits of Dogecoin. 🐕

At the same time, how much sway the group will have in close races is still unclear; the organization says it will focus on critical battleground contests and will tailor its outreach based on survey results. Or, as we like to call it, “strategic chaos.” 🌀
