一个主要的加密货币支出团体将在11月中期选举之前支持来自两党的32名众议院候选人。

华盛顿--一家顶级加密货币竞选组织正在公布一份两党众议院议员名单，将在11月中期选举中支持这些议员，因为支出最大的利益集团之一希望在国会经历了好坏参半的立法年后展示实力。
JOEY CAPPELLETTI WASHINGTON — A top cryptocurrency campaign organization is unveiling a bipartisan list of House members that it will support in the November midterms, as one of the biggest-spending interest groups looks to flex its muscles after a mixed legislative year in Congress.
这份名单于周一首次向美联社提供，其中包括19名共和党人和13名民主党人，其中6名成员每人获得了100万美元的支出。这32项立法均支持该行业的首要任务。
The list, provided first to The Associated Press on Monday, includes 19 Republicans and 13 Democrats, with six members getting $1 million in spending each. All 32 supported legislation that was a top priority for the industry.
然而，与费尔谢克迄今为止最大的大选投资相比，两党的名单就相形见绌了。该组织于9月宣布计划斥资近3000万美元对抗俄亥俄州民主党参议员候选人谢罗德·布朗，后者将在本周期竞争最激烈的竞选之一中与共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德（Jon Husted）对决。
The bipartisan slate pales in contrast, however, to Fairshake’s biggest general election investment so far. The group announced plans in September to spend nearly $30 million against Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown in Ohio, who is facing Republican Sen. Jon Husted in one of the most competitive races of the cycle.
布朗此前在2024年面临近4000万美元的加密货币支出，当时他输给了共和党人伯尼·莫雷诺（Bernie Moreno）。直到上个月，他才避免成为今年的主要目标，当时在参议院民主党人帮助阻止《金融法案》后，业界对他采取了反对行动，该法案本可以实现该行业建立数字资产联邦监管框架的目标。
Brown previously faced nearly $40 million in cryptocurrency spending in 2024, when he lost to Republican Bernie Moreno. He had avoided becoming a major target this year until last month, when the industry moved against him after Senate Democrats helped block the CLARITY Act, which would have achieved the industry’s goal of establishing a federal regulatory framework for digital assets.
费尔沙克没有透露是否计划在11月之前在众议院或参议院竞选中投入更多资金。该集团及其附属政治行动委员会报告称，截至8月底，手头现金约为1.2亿美元。
Fairshake would not say whether it plans to spend more in House or Senate races before November. The group and its affiliated PACs reported about $120 million in cash on hand at the end of August.
巨额支出可能会影响众议院竞选的战场三名共和党人和三名民主党人将从费尔沙克获得最大的帮助，其中包括几名面临竞争激烈的连任竞选的议员，外部支出可能会提供显着的推动力。
Big spending could shape battleground House races Three Republicans and three Democrats will get the most help from Fairshake, including several members facing competitive reelection races where the outside spending could provide a significant boost.
在民主党方面，费尔沙克计划分别支持俄勒冈州众议员贾内尔·拜纳姆、内华达州众议员史蒂文·霍斯福德和加利福尼亚州众议员德里克·特兰。
On the Democratic side, Fairshake plans to support Reps. Janelle Bynum of Oregon, Steven Horsford of Nevada and Derek Tran of California with $1 million each.
在共和党方面，阿肯色州众议员弗伦奇·希尔、威斯康星州众议员布莱恩·斯蒂尔和密歇根州众议员比尔·惠曾加将获得同等水平的支持。
On the Republican side, Reps. French Hill of Arkansas, Bryan Steil of Wisconsin and Bill Huizenga of Michigan will receive the same level of support.
费尔沙克没有透露其在支持的其他26名众议院候选人身上花费了多少钱。
Fairshake did not disclose how much it is spending on the other 26 House candidates it is supporting.
该组织强调其支出的两党性质，因为加密货币行业希望下届国会恢复今年陷入停滞的立法。
The organization is emphasizing the bipartisan nature of its spending as the cryptocurrency industry looks to the next Congress to revive legislation that stalled this year.
Fairshake发言人杰夫·维特（Geoff Vetter）指出，该组织今年对初选和特别选举的投资，当时该组织及其附属团体花费了4000万美元支持29名民主党人，3100万美元支持28名共和党人。
Geoff Vetter, a spokesperson for Fairshake, pointed to the group’s investments in primaries and special elections this year, when it and its affiliated groups spent $40 million supporting 29 Democrats and $31 million supporting 28 Republicans.
“Fairshake一直是、将来也将永远是一个以问题为中心的组织。我们支持两党都支持美国创新的亲加密货币候选人，”维特说。“我们在本周期中参加的57场比赛中赢得了53场，并期待继续在美国历史上最大的加密货币核心小组的基础上再接再厉。”增加参议院支出仍然是一个悬而未决的问题参议院民主党人在9月份阻止了一项长期酝酿的立法，该立法旨在赋予该行业更多监管确定性并在联邦监管机构之间划分监督。
“Fairshake has always been and always will be an issue-focused organization. We back pro-crypto candidates who support American innovation in both parties,” Vetter said. “We’ve won 53 of the 57 races we engaged in this cycle and look forward to continuing to build on the largest pro-crypto caucus in American history.”More Senate spending remains an open question Senate Democrats in September blocked legislation long in the works that aimed to give the industry more regulatory certainty and divide oversight between federal regulators.
反对者担心该法案没有充分解决唐纳德·特朗普总统的加密货币投资问题。特朗普去年获得了超过14亿美元的加密货币相关收入。投票后不久，费尔谢克承诺向布朗投入近3000万美元。
Opponents raised concerns that it did not adequately address President Donald Trump’s crypto investments. Trump took in more than $1.4 billion in crypto-related income last year. Soon after the vote, Fairshake pledged nearly $30 million against Brown.
该组织还在2024年瞄准了布朗，花费近4000万美元帮助共和党人伯尼·莫雷诺击败他，但当年的参议院支出跨越了党派界限。Fairshake的网络还花费了大约1000万美元支持亚利桑那州的民主党参议员候选人Ruben Gallego和密歇根州的Elissa Slotkin。加列戈称针对布朗的决定是“愚蠢的政治”。
The group also targeted Brown in 2024, spending nearly $40 million to help Republican Bernie Moreno defeat him, but its Senate spending that year crossed party lines. Fairshake’s network also spent about $10 million each supporting Democratic Senate candidates Ruben Gallego in Arizona and Elissa Slotkin in Michigan. Gallego called the decision to target Brown “dumb politics.”
“如果你想通过市场结构法案，选举后你仍然需要60票，”加列戈说道，指的是参议院推进大多数立法所需的门槛。“现在谈判只会变得更难，达成的协议也不会像他们决定扼杀该法案前那样好了。”
“You still need 60 votes after this election if you want to pass market structure,” Gallego said, referring to the Senate’s threshold for advancing most legislation. “Now the negotiations will just get harder and the deal is going to be not as good as they had right before they decided to kill it.”
