In 48 hours, the crypto industry will spend $170 million to buy an answer

The U.S. midterm elections are on November 3. This isn’t a battle of slogans over whether candidates are “crypto-friendly”—it’s a fight for seats, backed by real money.

💰 First, let’s lay out the money

• Fairshake (the industry’s largest super PAC) has invested $154 million this cycle, and has held back another $56 million for the next one
• Digital Freedom Fund (funded by the Winklevoss brothers) added $8 million this month, targeting Ohio, Texas, and Iowa to block Democratic challengers
• Fellowship Fund (funded by Cantor Fitzgerald and closely tied to Tether) gave Republicans $3.8 million (including to Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton), and another $600,000 to three incumbent Democrats
• Together, the three groups have spent nearly $170 million, making them major players in U.S. congressional elections

🎯 What’s really at stake

Control of the Senate. Republicans currently hold 53 seats, while Democrats have 45 plus two independents. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to take control, and the Cook Political Report lists seven races as “toss-ups.”

The most important race is in Ohio, where Sherrod Brown is currently still ahead. If he holds on, the crypto industry will face a much tougher path in the Senate next year.

🔍 Three details worth noting

1️⃣ This cycle’s money isn’t purely a partisan tool. Fairshake has consistently emphasized being “issue-focused,” and Fellowship Fund even gave money to Democratic incumbents—the industry wants seats, not party logos.
2️⃣ The only truly one-sided bet on the GOP is the Winklevoss brothers’ $8 million.
3️⃣ Don’t mistake prediction-market odds for probabilities. Last week, prediction markets gave Lula only about a 20% chance of winning Brazil’s election. He won.

📊 The markets are quiet

$BTC $77,993 (+0.5%), $ETH $2,267 (+0.7%), and the Fear Index is at 34, still in fear territory. BTC dominance is 59.96%, close to 60%—the money hasn’t left; it’s just waiting for the result, not betting on a direction.

💬 My take

The significance of this election for crypto isn’t “who wins,” but whether $170 million can buy a predictable regulatory environment. If it can’t, the money will flow elsewhere next cycle.

Let’s talk in the comments 👇 Do you think if Democrats take the Senate, $BTC will fall first—and by how much? Or has crypto already become “too big to fail”?

U.S. former president Donald J. Trump has recently posted on the Truth Social platform saying that tickets for the Republican midterm meeting held in Dallas have all been sold out. He added that viewership and attention have performed strongly, and emphasized that the event will have a major impact on the Nov. 3 election.

From the perspective of election momentum and the macro outlook, the high level of attention to political rallies often directly reflects how active the voter base is and how political trends are shifting. Compared with the stalemate seen in earlier polls, the rising enthusiasm for the Republican rally suggests that policy expectations are accelerating. Market expectations for future fiscal easing and pro-business policies are gradually heating up.

In traditional financial markets, expectations of political tailwinds are providing a positive catalyst for risk assets. Key U.S. stock indices show a resilient structure, Treasury yields remain within a healthy technical trading range, the U.S. dollar index is holding steady above key moving-average support levels, and the overall macro environment is building a solid liquidity base to support upside movement in pro-cyclical assets.

For crypto assets, this intensification of political expectations has significantly boosted market risk appetite. Bitcoin $BTC demonstrates strong capital-absorption capability; the funding rate and the structure of open on-chain derivatives positions remain healthy, and in the short term it has received effective confirmation at moving-average support levels. If macro political tailwinds continue to resonate, prices could break through the key resistance level above and start a new round of upside momentum.📈
