Fairshake, the political action committee (PAC) backed by contributions from Coinbase, Ripple Labs and Andreessen Horowitz, announced that it would initially spend a combined $6 million on six House of Representatives candidates out of 32 people the group planned to back ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections.
On Monday, Fairshake said that it would support 19 Republican and 13 Democratic incumbents in US House races for 2026. The PAC is expected to spend more than $100 million on ads supporting House and Senate candidates in 2026, including at least $30 million in Ohio’s Senate race to back Republican Jon Husted over Democrat Sherrod Brown.
“Fairshake has always been and always will be an issue-focused organization,” said Fairshake spokesperson Geoff Vetter. “We back pro-crypto candidates who support American innovation in both parties.”
According to the crypto-backed PAC, three Republican and three Democratic candidates will each receive $1 million in spending ahead of the 2026 midterms. These politicians included Oregon Representative Janelle Bynum, California Representative Derek Tran and Nevada Representative Steven Horsford on the Democratic side and Arkansas Representative French Hill, Michigan Representative Bill Huizenga and Wisconsin Representative Bryan Steil as Republicans.
All 32 candidates Fairshake said would receive its support voted to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a bill that had been expected to establish clear roles for US financial agencies in overseeing digital assets. The legislation failed to pass a crucial Senate vote, leaving the Republican-led bill’s future uncertain ahead of the midterm elections. Many polls showed Democrats favored to take majority control of both the House and Senate in 2027.
Vetter said in August that Fairshake had “$122 million cash on hand” ahead of the midterms as part of its plan to “help build the largest pro-crypto caucus in American history.” The consumer advocacy group Public Citizen reported that the PAC had spent $82 million on ads opposing or backing candidates as of June, less than half of the $189 million it estimated came from advocacy groups and companies aligned with the crypto industry.

JERSEY, Channel Islands — Monday, 5, October— CoinShares PLC (Nasdaq: CSHR) (“CoinShares” or the “Company”), a leading global asset manager specialising in digital assets, today published the CoinShares Affluent Investor Crypto Report, a survey of 2,230 affluent investors across the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland, conducted with the strategic research consultancy Vardaxoglou Advisory. CoinShares believes it is one of the largest such surveys ever dedicated to digital assets. A majority holds digital assets in every market, from 54% in Sweden to around 70% in the US, UK, Germany, and Switzerland. The February 2026 downturn — the sharpest in several years — left more investors more likely to invest than less in all seven markets.
The starting point was a gap. Digital assets are more established than ever, and they still divide opinion. Institutions remain cautious — in CoinShares’ Citywire survey of 261 European wealth managers, adviser views were largely set by conservative firm policy, volatility (56%) and crypto’s speculative nature (52%) the top perceived reasons clients hold back. The affluent themselves are markedly less so: conviction where the institutional consensus counsels restraint. Two explanations point in opposite directions — the appetite for risk that built the wealth, or risk simply affordable at that level. So CoinShares asked 2,230 of them.
The audience merits attention. Where affluent investors allocate shapes which sectors grow; their wealth is globally mobile. They are the core clients of wealth managers, family offices, and private banks — firms with little data on them, because wealth studies treat digital assets as a side question. This report makes them the subject. And in what economists describe as a K-shaped economy, their decisions carry more weight each year.
What the survey finds
A committed, long-horizon investor base. Average allocations cluster around 10% of the portfolio — a weight comparable to private equity, commodities, or real estate. Just 6% identify primarily as short-term traders, the smallest active profile in every market; among current investors, speculation is not a common primary motivation, at 19% on average against 41% for strategic motives. In four of the seven markets, investors rank crypto first among financial assets for expected long-term performance. The motivation matches: strategic motives — long-term appreciation and diversification — lead everywhere, while speculation ranks last. And 77% believe Bitcoin will play a significant role in the future global financial system as confidence in fiat currencies declines.
Policy moves capital — and the institutional signal leads. 79% support increased regulation of the digital asset market. The US Administration’s pro-crypto agenda lifts investment intent for 68–79% across markets, against 49–65% for the EU’s MiCA framework. President Trump’s personal endorsement lifts intent for 57% of investors on average, ranging from 41% in Sweden to 66% in the US — though the institutional signal from the US Administration outperforms it in every market.
Tested by the downturn, and holding. In all seven markets, more investors said the February downturn made them more likely to invest than less — Germany most decisively, 54% against 23%. Among current investors, 85% or more in five of seven markets plan to increase exposure in 2026, reaching 91% in the US, UK, and Germany.
Macro over technicals. Macro factors lead the list of investment triggers: economic factors such as interest rates and inflation average 47% across markets and structural changes in the global economic order 41%, against 36% for technical analysis — once the primary language of crypto investing.
Bitcoin anchors a diversified, institutionalised portfolio. Bitcoin is held by 80% of digital asset investors on average; 89% of Bitcoin investors also hold other digital assets, and Bitcoin-only portfolios range from just 5% of digital asset investors in the US to 15% in France. 55% prefer intermediated access — brokerage platforms, crypto ETPs, custodial wealth management — over direct exchanges. Brand recognition and trust ranks first among platform criteria in every market; low fees rank fifth.
Advisers are in demand. Wealth managers are the most trusted source of digital asset information in every market — by 25 to 30 points over most other sources in the US and UK, narrowly in Sweden and Switzerland. 69% would consider working with a wealth manager with crypto expertise, 88% acknowledge they lack the knowledge to invest with full confidence, and 98% of current investors open to advisory services are willing to pay for them. Yet roughly four in ten of those working with an adviser in Switzerland, France, the US, and Germany call that adviser overly cautious about digital assets.

Source: CoinShares Affluent Investor Crypto Report, Figs. 7, 6, and 8. Likelihood shares are grouped from balanced five-point scales; the increase-exposure column is based on current digital asset investors. The report does not publish a standalone per-market average allocation figure; allocations are reported as clustering around 10% across markets.
The next generation allocates more. Investors aged 18–44 allocate roughly twice the portfolio share of older investors in four of the seven markets, and more in every market; in every market they are also more likely to increase exposure in 2026. An estimated $84 trillion is expected to pass to younger heirs — primarily Millennials and Gen Z — over the next two decades (source: World Economic Forum, 2025). In the US, where the sample mirrors CoinShares’ 2025 wave, key indicators tracked rose year on year — crypto ranked first for long-term performance up 13 points to 40%, “extremely likely” to increase exposure up 20 points to 64%.
The report extends the research practice CoinShares has maintained since 2013 — wealth management, hybrid finance, Bitcoin mining, the major protocols — to the same standard: transparent sample, stated limits, methodology in full. The purpose has not changed: to give investors clarity, and with clarity, agency.
About the survey
The study was designed by Vardaxoglou Advisory, a strategic research consultancy, in collaboration with CoinShares, which commissioned and funded it; CoinShares offers digital asset investment products. An online survey was conducted between May 11 and June 5, 2026 among 2,230 respondents: US (502), UK (305), Germany (305), France (304), Italy (304), Sweden (304), and Switzerland (206), constructed with gender and age quotas and split evenly between two wealth bands — $1 million or more and $500,000–999,999, in investable assets excluding real estate, with at least one investment transaction in the past 12 months. This release uses “affluent investors” for the two bands combined; the report’s umbrella term is “HNWIs”, while its country method pages distinguish high-net-worth ($1 million+) from sub-HNWI ($500,000–999,999) respondents. The US sample mirrors CoinShares’ 2025 survey of US affluent investors to support year-on-year comparison. The methodology is published in full: sample construction, wealth-band definitions, question wording, and scale groupings are stated in the report, with agreement and likelihood questions measured on balanced five-point scales and grouped categories noted on individual figures. As with all online panel surveys, results are subject to sampling and self-selection effects. Country-by-country reports are included in the report.

The bureau under the US Treasury said it was withdrawing two proposed rules on unhosted wallets and crypto mixers ”as part of the Trump Administration’s deregulatory agenda.”
Two years ago, then-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy couldn’t stop praising the virtues of cryptocurrency.
Running to be the 2024 Republican nominee in the race for the White House, Ramaswamy sprinkled his stump speeches with praise for Bitcoin (BTC) and token mining operations while strongly standing against central bank digital currencies.
Now, presidential candidate Ramaswamy is running to be the next governor of Ohio. And while he isn’t exactly distancing himself from positions on digital assets, he isn’t putting them at the forefront of his campaign despite substantial exposure to crypto investments and the Buckeye state’s interests.
2023 X post on CBDCs. Source: Vivek Ramaswamy
In his 2024 presidential run, Ramaswamy was frequently issuing statements in opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), praising Bitcoin (BTC) and its mining operations and often attending industry events as a keynote speaker.
After Donald Trump won the presidential race, he tapped Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, alongside Elon Musk. Ramaswamy left having never officially been a part of the administration.
Before announcing a run for the Ohio governor’s office in February 2025, he posted in support of the Ohio Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve Act, a state bill that would allow the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. In September 2025, Strive, the asset manager that he co-founded in 2022, announced plans to enter the digital asset market with a Bitcoin Bond ETF, focused on bonds issued by companies acquiring BTC.
Cointelegraph reached out to the Ramaswamy campaign but did not receive a response to repeated requests for an interview.
Crypto as a gubernatorial candidate
Following the official launch of his campaign, Ramaswamy initially kept up much of the same rhetoric he had espoused during his presidential run, also speaking at the Bitcoin for America conference in March and Bitcoin 2025 in May.
His campaign website accepts donations in crypto, and he has financial support from the co-founders of the Trump family’s crypto company, World Liberty Financial: Chase Herro, Zak Folkman and Zachary Witkoff, all of whom donated the maximum allowable amount of $16,615 each.
Other entities associated with the crypto industry have also donated millions of dollars to Ramaswamy’s Super political action committee (PAC) “V-PAC: Victors, Not Victims,” including $20 million from Susquehanna International Group co-founder Jeff Yass, $6 million from NYDIG founder Ross Stevens, $5 million from billionaire Elon Musk and $5,000 from the Bitcoin Voter Project.
Ramaswamy has maintained his stake in Strive, which reported holding 23,156 BTC worth about $2 billion as of Aug. 28. An August filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed the candidate owned 5,693,897 shares in the company, worth more than $170 million as of Sept. 26. He also reported personally holding more than $1,000 in BTC and Ether (ETH) as of April through a Coinbase wallet.

In September 2026, just weeks away from the election, Ramaswamy’s public statements on digital assets and related policies appear to have waned in contrast to his 2024 and even 2025 rhetoric. He had not addressed a Sept. 17 notice from Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announcing the acceptance of cryptocurrency to pay for state fees and services as of the time of publication.
What’s different for Ohio voters in 2026? Data centers, for one
Ohio voters could be part of the reason for Ramaswamy appearing to tone down the talk on crypto. The state was already the target of more than $40 million in spending by industry-aligned groups in 2024 to support Republican Bernie Moreno’s Senate run.
Two years ago, Moreno defeated incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown, but history is beginning to repeat itself: Brown is now running against Republican Jon Husted for another chance in the Senate in next month’s election. The Fairshake PAC has pledged to initially spend $30 million opposing the Democrat again, already reporting $11 million in ad buys.
To be sure, a poll conducted by the Digital Currency Group in May 2024, months before the election, suggested that Ohio voters were “more negative towards crypto” compared to those in other US states, with 79% of the state’s respondents saying that they had never held crypto and 77% holding negative views on the digital currency.
Sentiment on data centers has also become a controversial campaign issue for Ohio politicians in 2026. According to the Pew Research Center, there were 166 data centers in Ohio as of April, giving the state more locations than any other in the country. It’s also home to many crypto mining operations, including Cipher Mining, Bitdeer and BIT Mining.
Public polling also showed that a majority of Ohio residents do not support data centers in their communities. Ramaswamy pledged in August that any center built in an Ohio community would result in no electricity cost for residents and lower property taxes, while his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, has proposed that “all costs for gas, water and electricity needs to be covered by data centers and their investors, not Ohio taxpayers or our communities.”
As of Sept. 22, an average of RealClearPolling data showed Acton with a one-point lead over Ramaswamy, making the race essentially a toss up. An event contract on Kalshi at last look on Monday had more than $2 million in bets and favored the Democratic candidate with a 66% chance of winning the governor’s race, with similar odds on a Polymarket contract.
Magazine: Winners and losers of the SEC’s new tokenized stocks rules
The Japanese government has added Russian cryptocurrency exchange Garantex to its expanded list of sanctions against Russia, citing the continuing war in Ukraine.
Officials added 33 organizations and nine individuals linked to Russia to its asset-freeze list that restricts payments and capital transactions with the targeted parties, according to a joint statement issued on Friday by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Garantex was previously sanctioned by the US, the EU and other jurisdictions for helping Russian entities evade financial restrictions.
The new measures also target 35 vessels identified as part of the so-called “shadow fleet” that carries Russian oil and helps Moscow evade existing sanctions. The measures specifically restrict services including repairs and insurance to cover the designated vessels.

Through the sanctions, Japan aims to help reduce Russia’s earnings from crude oil exports.
Still, Garantex may already have had a contingency plan in place allowing it to skirt the impact of US actions, according to blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, as Cointelegraph reported in August 2025.
The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control then sanctioned Garantex a second time, along with its successor, Grinex.
However, TRM Labs said in a report that the sanctions may be ineffective, as entities like Garantex “appear to prepare contingency plans well in advance of anticipated enforcement measures,” which allow them to quickly migrate clients, infrastructure and funds to successor platforms.

Russia’s Ministry of Finance said on Friday that some of its employees had received their wages in digital rubles for the first time.
Being paid in the central bank’s digital currency is available for citizens of Russia on a voluntary basis, and began on Thursday, Oct. 1, according to a Ministry of Finance press release.
The ministry did not disclose how many participants were paid in digital currency or the total payroll amount.
During federal budget spending trials in 2025, about 16 million digital rubles ($192,245) was disbursed, so the ministry has applied proven rails to its own salary procedure, it said.
Work on the introduction of the digital ruble to the budget process is being carried out by the Bank of Russia together with the Ministry of Finance, according to the release.

Cointelegraph had reported on July 2 that Russia planned to launch the central bank digital currency on Sept. 1, when major banks and retail companies began enabling transactions with the new currency.
The digital currency was to launch as a complement to Russia’s fiat currency, the ruble, and would initially be accepted by financial and credit institutions, Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti was cited as saying at the time.
The digital ruble, whose development began in 2021, was targeted by preemptive sanctions from European Union authorities, who announced restrictions on the currency in April.
The European Council said that the sanctions package was in response to Russia’s “war of aggression against Ukraine,” which it started in February 2022.

A community banks group sued a US bank regulator, claiming its decision to allow cryptocurrency companies to obtain limited national trust bank charters exceeds the authority Congress granted the agency.
The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) filed the suit Friday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.
The group claimed the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted cryptocurrency firms the credibility of a US bank charter without sufficient safeguards or compliance with normal bank requirements.
“The OCC’s decision to allow companies to obtain national trust bank charters to conduct substantial non-fiduciary activities exceeds the authority Congress granted the agency,” ICBA president and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey said in a statement. “Congress did not create the national trust charter as a side door into the banking system for crypto firms seeking the credibility of a federal bank charter without the Community Reinvestment Act obligations, consolidated supervision, capital and liquidity standards, and FDIC insurance that apply to insured depository institutions.”
The ICBA is asking the court to return the OCC to its statutory limits, Rainey added.
The OCC was asked for comment on the lawsuit but had not replied by the time of publication.
Cointelegraph reported in August that under President Donald Trump and OCC head Jonathan Gould, the agency has approved or conditionally approved multiple applications from crypto companies seeking trust charters to expand their services in the US.
Still, the trust bank charters do not allow companies to accept deposits or make loans, distinguishing them from conventional commercial banks, Cointelegraph reported.

President Donald Trump is expected to appoint Jay Clayton, US director of national intelligence, as the new AI czar, CNN and other media reported Friday, citing unidentified sources.
Cointelegraph reported Sept. 20 that Trump planned to create an “AI Force” modeled after the Space Force and appoint an artificial intelligence czar. The president posted on Truth Social that his new project would manage the fast-growing AI sector without adding regulations that could slow innovation.
Trump’s actions followed several public warnings about the potential dangers of AI.
Cointelegraph reported on Sept. 12 that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had written a three-step proposal to pace the speed of AI development that if left unchecked, might “outrun our ability to understand and control these systems.”
Anthropic chief urges slowdown in AI development to safer pace
Subsequently, Anthropic said it had chosen Accenture as an embedded evaluator to help moderate the pace of AI development, moving ahead with the first step outlined in Amodei’s proposal, Cointelegraph said.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk responded positively to Amodei’s proposal, although Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang did not, arguing that such regulation was not necessary.
On Tuesday, Trump gathered AI and technology chiefs at the White House to sign a commitment to “self-police” their companies’ AI models and development, Cointelegraph reported.
Clayton led SEC during Trump’s first term
CBS News first reported that Clayton was the frontrunner for the AI position. Still, a White House official told CBS that any such announcement would come directly from the president, dismissing the reports as speculation.
Clayton led the Securities and Exchange Commission during Trump’s first term, served as interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and is expected to also remain in his current role as director of national intelligence, the sources told CNN.
The Senate confirmed Clayton in July to lead the intelligence community.
When asked about AI during his confirmation hearing, Clayton said the technology is a “game changer” and that it’s “not only an opportunity but a threat,” according to CNN.
Crypto czar David Sacks argues AI threat is Orwellian, not Terminator
Cointelegraph reported in March that David Sacks, a venture capitalist who became a special White House official under Trump last year, had wrapped up a 130-day tenure as crypto and AI czar. Under US rules, such special government employees are limited to 130 days of work in a 12-month period.
“We’ve now used up that time,” Sacks told Bloomberg in March, noting that he would continue making policy recommendations across a broad range of tech industries as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology
