Anchorage Digital and Chainlink Labs have jointly funded the Blockchain Leadership Fund, a new political action committee (PAC) aimed at supporting pro-crypto candidates in the upcoming midterm elections. This marks Anchorage Digital's first foray into PAC financing. The fund will focus on promoting digital asset and blockchain-friendly policies and enhancing voter education. Despite this initiative, U.S. congressional progress on crypto legislation remains stalled, with ongoing disagreements between the Senate Banking Committee and the banking industry over stablecoin regulation. Meanwhile, the crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto has introduced a scoring system to assess legislators' stances on digital assets, furthering efforts to influence the 2026 elections.
