Byron Kennedy, B.S.

Congratulations to everyone elected this week. We look forward to working with members of both parties to keep America the best place in the world to build the future. Let me be clear — some headlines will call this a setback for crypto. The facts are far more nuanced. Fairshake secured meaningful wins in both the primaries and the general election, and early Stand With Crypto data shows a substantial number of pro-crypto members elected across both parties. That didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of years of engagement, from grassroots advocates to industry organizations. Those leaders will be critical partners as Congress and the administration work to build clear rules for digital assets and the broader tech economy. And the stakes haven’t changed. More than 67 million Americans use crypto to build financial independence, power their businesses and pay for goods and services. Banks and businesses are adopting it. Day by day, this is mainstream finance. Clear rules for digital assets were never a one-cycle project. We remain committed to smart regulation, relationships across party lines, and continued investment in political engagement through Super PACs, other political advocacy groups and crypto education through not-for-profits like the National Cryptocurrency Association..
