Description: Stand With Crypto is a U.S.-based advocacy coalition that mobilizes cryptocurrency users and industry supporters to influence federal and state policy. Its stated mission is to secure clear, pro-innovation regulation for digital assets, protect consumer choice to use crypto, and mobilize voters and lawmakers in support of legislation the organization describes as \"common-sense\" for the crypto sector. Type: Nonprofit advocacy organization (registered as a 501(c)(4)) that also operates affiliated political fundraising efforts (PAC activity). Policies: Advocates for regulatory clarity and permissive frameworks for digital assets, legislation to support crypto innovation and job creation, opposing measures the group views as overly restrictive to retail crypto users or developers, and electoral engagement to support pro-crypto candidates and policymakers. Funding: Primarily funded by donations and sponsorships from crypto industry companies and individual crypto holders, plus fundraising tied to affiliated political committees and industry partners. Affiliates: Affiliated with an active Stand With Crypto PAC and closely associated with major crypto companies and executives (notably early support from Coinbase and its leadership), along with other industry partners, exchanges, and pro-crypto advocacy groups.
