Chainlink Labs and Anchorage Digital have backed the launch of a new political action committee aimed at supporting pro-crypto candidates ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections.
The Blockchain Leadership Fund is structured as a hybrid PAC, allowing it to contribute directly to candidates while also funding independent campaign efforts such as advertising.
“2026 will be pivotal for crypto regulation,”
Anchorage said, adding that industry participation in the political process will shape long-term outcomes.
The initiative comes as key legislation including the CLARITY Act and stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act remain central to ongoing regulatory debates in Congress.
Neither company disclosed initial contributions, though Anchorage said it plans to make a “meaningful” donation to be reported to regulators.
The move reflects a broader trend of crypto firms increasing political spending, following significant industry-backed funding during the 2024 elections.
With control of Congress at stake, the PAC is expected to play a role in shaping the regulatory environment for digital assets in the United States.
At the time of reporting, Chainlink price was $8.75.
