The pro-crypto Super PAC Fairshake has announced an initiative, which will spend $25 million on TV ads in support of 18 House candidates from both parties.
This strategic move is to strengthen the bi-partisan approach towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, which are becoming more significant in the future economy.

As stated by the Fairshake’s spokesman Josh Vlasto this investment is an example of the general agreement of both Democrats and Republicans in regard to the use of the digital assets.
Vlasto said: “It is a rather bipartisan view when it comes to ‘crypto and blockchain as a key to the future economy. Over 52 million people in the United States own cryptocurrencies, and the industry generated tens of thousands of jobs across the country. ”

The Super PAC’s spending will focus on the congressional races, which will help the candidates who support the sustainable development of the crypto industry.
The decision to support a diverse group of candidates shows that Fairshake is willing to support the growth of cryptocurrency by creating a positive environment. In addition, crypto spending helped to unseat several allies of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, including prominent progressive Rep. Cori Bush in Missouri. Aside from the Bush’s loss, Fairshake was able to get wins for its pro-crypto candidates namely the democrat Emily Randall in Washington State and Bob Onder in Missouri race.
Backlash and Potential Support for John Deaton
Earlier last month, the Super PAC came under some criticism mainly over the decision not to support John Deaton, a crypto ally fighting an incumbent who is an opponent of the industry.
Deaton’s campaign has recently come into focus because of his position on crypto regulation, and there is a possibility that Fairshake may continue supporting him before the November elections.
This potential support is in accord with the PAC’s overall goal to endorse the candidates favorable to cryptocurrencies as well as job market. Concurrently, in July, the Stand With Crypto PAC had already backed 18 candidates for the elections, half of which were Democrats and the other half Republicans.
Winklevoss Twins’ Support for Deaton
Even though Fairshake at the moment is concentrating on the House positions, there is a possibility that it may support John Deaton, a crypto enthusiast vying for the Senate seat. Deaton is seeking to challenge Senator Elizabeth Warren who is of the democrats.
At the same time, Tyler and Cameron Winkelvoss, the co-founders of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, donated $1 million in Bitcoin to counter Senate candidates who are against the further development of cryptocurrencies.
Their contributions were made to support candidates with favorable views towards cryptocurrencies such as John Deaton who is opposing Senator Elizabeth Warren, an opponent of the cryptocurrency industry. Due to these strategies the rumors have been made that there is a possibility of supporting John Deaton in his bid to oust Senator Warren.
